Oman is making some changes to its visa policies. Visitors to Oman will no longer be able to change their visa status to an employment visa while in the country. They will need to leave Oman and apply for an employment visa from outside the country. This change is expected to take effect this month.
Oman is also temporarily suspending the issuance of new visas for Bangladeshi nationals. This suspension is pending a review of visa policies.
In addition, Oman is introducing an online application system for e-visas. This system is designed to simplify the process of obtaining a visa and reduce wait times at airports.
These changes are part of Oman’s efforts to attract more visitors and businesses to the country. Oman has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with tourism revenue increasing by 91.7% in 2022.
