Do Australia citizens need a visa for Oman? For tourism travel, the current rule is e-visa, with a permitted stay of up to 30 days per visit. This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Royal Oman Police — Official e-Visa Portal, on 2026-08-29. It applies to Australia passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.
An e-visa means you apply online before you travel and receive approval electronically, without an embassy visit. Approval is usually subject to the authorities’ checks, so apply with enough time before departure and keep the approved e-visa with your documents.

Practical notes about Oman — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
The Capital of Muscat and the Bay of the White City
The capital of Muscat sits between the dark mountains and the turquoise bay, and its white, low, immaculate architecture spreads along the shore, with the great mosque of the Sultan and the opera house of the city standing among the shades of the modern quarter. The old quarters of the town, the Muttrah district with its corniche and its souq, sell the frankincense, the silver and the spices of the country in the maze of the covered lanes, and the twin forts of the Jalali and the Mirani guard the historic harbour of the old capital. The bays, the mountains and the water give the city its remarkable setting, and the beaches and the marinas of the modern era complete the picture. Muscat is one of the cleanest, best-ordered and most quietly beautiful capitals of the whole Gulf.
The Forts of the Interior and the Mountains of the Green
The interior of the country, the plateau below the Hajar mountains, holds the great forts and the palm oases of the sultanate, the crowning glories of the Omani age of the castles. The round fort of Nizwa, the famous circular fortress of the interior, dominates the town of the same name, and its Saturday livestock market is the great traditional fair of the region, while the immense fort of Bahla, a world heritage of the medieval era, spreads its walls and its towers above its oasis. The mountains of the Jebel Akhdar, the green mountain with its terraced rose gardens and its high villages, rise above the roads of the interior, and the stone-built settlements of the valleys hold the summer houses of the old families. The heritage forts are the soul of the country's long history.
The Wadis and the Pools of the Desert Canyons
The wadis of the country, the old riverbeds of the desert, cut the green ribbons of the palm groves and the pools of the clear water through the dry mountains, and the drive into their canyons is one of the great experiences of the country. The wadi of the Shab with its waterfall pools and its steep walls, the wadi of the Bani Khalid with its emerald swimming holes and the wadi of the Tiwi with its terraced villages hold the freshwater of the mountains, and the local families come to grill, to swim and to picnic beneath the palms. The canyon of the wadi Ghul, known as the Grand Canyon of the country, opens the great abyss of the Hajar range, and the abandoned mountain villages above it cling to the edges of the cliffs. The wadis are the green secret of the dry land.
The Wahiba Sands and the Camps of the Golden Dunes
The sands of the Wahiba, the sea of the golden dunes that fills the eastern interior of the country, is the desert of the classic experience, and the four-wheel drives of the region run the crests of the dunes toward the camps of the deep sands. The bedouin of the desert, the people of the tents and the camels, still live the lives of the dunes, and their camps offer the meals, the fires, the dates and the nights beneath the enormous stars of the desert. The camel treks and the sunset drives of the dunes, and the walks of the dawn across the silent crests, give the desert its beauty and its silence. The wild dune coast of the east, where the desert meets the sea, is the strangest shore of the country. A night in the sands is an essential of the Omani trip.
