Applying for an Oman eVisa from Lithuania

Are you a Lithuanian citizen dreaming of the golden dunes of the Wahiba Sands or the crystal-clear waters of the Musandam Peninsula? Oman has become a top-tier destination for European travelers seeking authentic Arabian culture and breathtaking landscapes. Fortunately, the days of visiting an embassy are long gone.

Lithuanians are eligible for the Oman eVisa, a streamlined digital system that allows you to secure your entry permit from the comfort of your home in Vilnius, Kaunas, or anywhere in the world. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the Oman eVisa application process for Lithuanian residents.

Do Lithuanian Citizens Need a Visa for Oman?

Yes. While Oman offers a short 14-day visa-free entry for certain nationalities under specific conditions, most Lithuanian travelers prefer the eVisa for longer stays (30 days) or for the peace of mind of having an official permit before boarding. Whether you are traveling for tourism or visiting family, an eVisa is your primary gateway.

How long is an Oman eVisa valid?

Depending on your travel plans and whether you reside in a GCC country (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, or Bahrain), you have several options:

How to Apply for an Oman eVisa from Lithuania?

The Oman eVisa application process is 100% online and follows four simple steps:

2. Upload Documents: Attach digital copies of the required paperwork.
3. Payment: Pay the visa fee using a credit or debit card.

What Documents  are Required for Oman eVisa?

To ensure a smooth application, have these digital files ready:

• Passport Copy: A high-quality scan of your Lithuanian passport's bio-data page (valid for at least 6 months).
• Passport Photo: A recent digital photo with a white background.
• Travel Itinerary: Details of your flight bookings.
• Accommodation Proof: A hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Oman.

How Long Does It Take for an Oman eVisa to be Approved?

Depending on how soon you plan to depart, you can select from three tiers of processing speed. It is always recommended to apply at least two weeks before your trip to account for any unforeseen delays.

• Normal Processing (6-9 Working Days): Best for travelers who plan well in advance.
• Rush Processing (4-7 Working Days): A middle-ground option for those who need their visa within a week.
• Super Rush Processing (3-5 Working Days): The fastest option for last-minute business trips or spontaneous holidays.

What Documents are  needed for Minors eVisa in Oman?

Yes, children traveling from Lithuania require their own eVisa.

• Documents Required: Besides the standard passport and photo, you must carry a Birth Certificate (translated into English).
• What to Carry: If the minor is traveling with only one parent or a legal guardian, a notarized Letter of Consent from the non-traveling parent is highly recommended to avoid delays at immigration.

Is Travel Insurance Mandatory for Oman?

While no longer strictly mandatory for entry Since 2022, travel insurance is highly recommended. Omani authorities and airlines may still ask for proof of coverage. More importantly, private healthcare for tourists can be expensive, so having a policy that covers medical emergencies and COVID-19 is a smart move.

How Can I Track My Oman eVisa Status?

Once you submit your application, you will receive an Application Number. You can visit the official "Track Your Application" page on the Royal Oman Police website and enter your passport number and application ID to see real-time updates.

What is the Oman eVisa Refund Policy?

It is important to note that visa fees are generally non-refundable. If your application is rejected by the Royal Oman Police or if you decide to cancel your trip after the application has been processed, you will likely not receive a refund. Always double-check your data for typos before submitting.

What to Do in Case of my Passport and eVisa is Loss in Oman?

Losing your documents in a foreign country can be stressful.

• Lost eVisa: Since it is digital, simply log back into the portal or check your email to download and print a new copy.
• Lost Passport: Immediately contact the local Omani police to file a report, then reach out to the Lithuanian Embassy (or the nearest EU representative office) to apply for an emergency travel document.

What are Healthcare Facilities Like for Tourists in Oman?

Oman offers high-quality healthcare, especially in cities like Muscat and Salalah. Modern private hospitals like Burjeel or Aster are well-equipped to handle tourists. However, costs are high, which is why your travel insurance is essential. For minor issues, pharmacies are widely available and well-stocked.

What are the rules for Travellers in Oman?

Oman is a peaceful and welcoming Sultanate, but it is important to respect local customs:

• Dress Code: Dress modestly in public areas (shoulders and knees covered).
• Alcohol: Consumption is limited to licensed hotels and restaurants.
• Photography: Avoid taking photos of military installations or government buildings.
• Illegal Drugs: Oman has a zero-tolerance policy for drugs; penalties are severe.
• Overstaying Fines: Staying beyond your visa's validity results in a fine of OMR 10 per day.

What is the best way to get around Oman?

• Mwasalat: This is the national transport company providing reliable bus services within Muscat and between cities.
• Taxis: Use the Otaxi app (the local equivalent of Uber/Bolt) for transparent pricing and reliable service.
• Car Rentals: For Lithuanians used to road trips, renting a car is the best way to see the "Wadis" and mountains. Your Lithuanian (EU) license is usually sufficient for short-term rentals.
