- ✗ Layover exceeds the permitted transit period

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are transiting through Muscat International Airport and remain in the international transit zone without passing through immigration, a visa is generally not required. However, if you need to exit the airport or have a layover requiring hotel stay, you must apply for a transit or visit visa.
A transit visa typically allows a stay of up to 24 hours. For longer layovers, a short-stay tourist eVisa may be more appropriate.
