Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- UAE: Embassy or consulate in advance, 14 days. Issued at the border to holders of certain US, UK or EU residence or visit visas. Usually arranged by the airline or hotel.
- Oman: Embassy or consulate in advance, 14 days. Issued at the border to GCC residents and holders of certain other visas.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
