the Sultanate of Oman? For citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, visiting Oman has never been more accessible. Thanks to the modern electronic visa (eVisa) system, the days of visiting embassies or waiting in long queues are over.

In this guest post, we break down everything you need to know about the Oman eVisa from Bosnia and Herzegovina passport holders, ensuring your travel planning is as smooth as a breeze over the Arabian Sea.

Why Should You Choose Oman for Your Next Vacation?

Oman is a land of dramatic contrasts. From the high-tech skyline of Muscat to the ancient forts of Nizwa and the rolling dunes of the Wahiba Sands, it offers an authentic Arabian experience. Whether you are interested in luxury resorts, hiking in Jebel Shams, or exploring the lush greenery of Salalah during the Khareef season, Oman is a destination that stays with you forever.

What are the Different Oman Visa Options for Bosnian Citizens?

Choosing the right visa is the first step in your journey. Depending on your travel plans and whether you reside in a GCC country (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Bahrain), there are several options available for Bosnian citizens.

Which eVisa Types are Available at a Glance?

Here are the most common visa types you can apply for through oman-evisa.info:

Visa Type	Entries	Max. Stay	Validity
eVisa For GCC Residents	Single	28 Days	28 Days
Tourist eVisa (Short)	Single	10 Days	10 Days
Tourist eVisa (Standard)	Single	30 Days	30 Days
Tourist eVisa (Long)	Multiple	30 Days	1 Year

Note: The “Validity” refers to how long you have to enter Oman after the visa is issued, while “Max Stay” is the duration you can actually remain in the country.

How Fast Can You Get Your Approved Oman eVisa?

We understand that travel plans can sometimes be last-minute. That’s why we offer three tiers of processing speeds to suit your urgency, including the Oman Urgent eVisa for travelers who need fast, priority approval.

• Standard Processing: 6-9 Working Days
• Rush Processing: 4-7 Working Days
• Super Rush Processing: 3-5 Working Days

We recommend applying 10 days before your flight to account for any public holidays or unexpected verification checks.

What is on the Document Checklist for Bosnian Citizens?

To ensure a successful application, make sure you have digital copies of the following documents ready:

• Which Passport Copy details are required? A clear, scanned copy of your passport information page. Your passport must be valid for 6 months from your intended date of entry.
• What are the Passport Photo specifications? A recent digital photo with a plain white background.
• Do you need to provide a Travel Itinerary? Yes, you must provide details of your flight bookings (round-trip).
• Is Accommodation Proof necessary for the application? Yes, either a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation if staying with friends/family.

Is a Bank Statement Required for the Oman eVisa?

While not a primary requirement for the online application itself, it is highly recommended to have a copy of your recent Bank Statement (last 3-6 months) available. Immigration officers at the border may occasionally ask for proof of sufficient funds to support your stay in the Sultanate.

Is a Flight Ticket Always Necessary for the Application?

Yes, a confirmed return or onward Flight Ticket is mandatory. This requirement can depend on the specific project or nature of your visit, but for tourist purposes, authorities use this to ensure you intend to leave the country within your visa’s validity. Always have your digital or printed ticket ready during the application and at the airport.

What are the Hotel Stay Rules for Tourists?

When staying in Omani hotels, tourists are expected to follow local regulations. You must present your passport and eVisa upon check-in. Note that unmarried couples may occasionally face restrictions in certain traditional areas, though international hotels in Muscat are very accommodating. It is also a rule to maintain a respectful volume and adhere to the hotel’s specific guest policies.

Can a Minor Travel on an Oman Transit Visa?

Minors traveling on a Transit Visa must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If a minor is traveling with only one parent or another relative, a notarized “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) or consent letter from the non-traveling parent(s) is strongly advised to prevent delays at immigration.

Can You Work Remotely on an Oman Tourist eVisa?

The Oman Tourist eVisa is strictly for leisure and sightseeing. While many “digital nomads” check emails or take short video calls from their hotels, engaging in official work for a local company or setting up a business on a tourist visa is strictly prohibited. If your stay is purely for remote work for an employer outside of Oman, ensure you do not violate any local labor laws or overstay your visa.

Yes. While some nationalities enjoy visa-free entry for 14 days, citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina are currently required to apply for a pre-arranged eVisa to ensure a smooth entry at the border.

Can I apply for the GCC Resident eVisa if I live in Sarajevo?

No. The GCC Resident eVisa is specifically for expatriates who hold a valid residency permit in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, or Bahrain. If you live in Bosnia, you should apply for the standard Tourist eVisa.

Do I need to print my eVisa?

Yes. While the visa is linked to your passport, we strongly recommend carrying a printed PDF copy for airline check-in and Omani immigration.
