Oman eVisa for Swiss Citizens
Oman eVisa for Swiss citizens was introduced by the Royal Oman Police in 2018 with the aim of speeding up the process of getting a visa.
Applicants from Switzerland can choose between two eVisa types, which can be issued either a single-entry or multiple-entry permit.
Both eVisa types serve only tourism-related purposes.
A single-entry Oman visa may be used for stays of 10 to 30 days during the 30-day visa validity. In turn, a multiple-entry visa allows a 30-day stay in Oman throughout the 1-year visa validity.
Swiss citizens who wish to obtain an Oman tourist visa online need to go through a very short and intuitive application process involving providing some essential detail in the online form, covering the processing fee, and having the approved eVisa delivered via email.

Depending on the selected visa type, all Swiss citizens may need to pay either 69, 99, or 149 Euro for the processing fee. They can use one of many methods of secure online payment available.
How long can Swiss citizens stay in Oman with an eVisa?
The allowed length of stay in Oman is determined by the type of eVisa that one applies for. There are 10-day stay and 30-day stay options.
The single-entry visas remain effective for 30 days, while multiple-entry ones are issued for 1 year.
Overstaying the Oman eVisa may result in fines of 10 OMR per every day of illegal stay in Oman without a valid visa, so make sure to leave Oman before your visa expires.
A traveler whose online visa has expired may apply for a new one. However, when making an Oman eVisa application, one must stay outside Oman.
