Oman has introduced free 14-day tourist visas for citizens of specific countries to facilitate short-term travel and revitalize its tourism sector. The new regulation stems from amendments to the executive regulations of the Foreign Nationals Residence Law. This move aims to attract more visitors and boost economic activity within the country. Details regarding eligible nationalities have not been fully released, but the initiative signifies Oman’s commitment to opening its doors to tourists. The announcement comes alongside separate statements from Iranian officials regarding the security of the Strait of Hormuz, asserting it will not return to a “pre-war” state. This visa policy change is expected to simplify travel arrangements and encourage tourism to Oman.
