All arrivals to the Sultanate through air, land and sea borders are required to undergo institutional quarantine at their own expense.

Airlines are required to ensure the availability of pre-confirmed hotel reservations for all travellers on their flights to Oman, except for certain categories of passengers (e.g. those under 16 or over 60)

Visitors will be required to take a further PCR test on arrival at the Sultanate’s airports, which they should book through https://covid19.emushrif.om/traveler/travel.

They must then observe a 7-day institutional quarantine period at their own expense and wear a tracking bracelet. The quarantine period will end after another negative PCR test on the eighth day, provided no COVID-19 symptoms appear during quarantine.
