Oman, a country of only 5 million, is an ideal destination for students because of its high-quality education, cultural diversity as top-class universities are offering latest programs in English language.

The Middle Eastern nation again opened E-Visa program for 2025, offering exciting opportunity for international travelers, and students to simplify application process, making it faster, more efficient, and accessible for students and tourists alike.

Oman E-Visa System

Those looking to apply to visit Oman for college admission, or short-term stays can now apply for their visas online through Royal Oman Police (ROP) E-Visa portal.
