Last verified: June 2026 (evisa.rop.gov.om / gov.om sources)
How do you get a visa for Oman from Algeria?
Algerians can apply for an Oman e-Visa 100% online (official portal evisa.rop.gov.om, no embassy and no pre-travel biometrics) — but conditionally: you must hold a valid Schengen / UK / US / Canada / Japan / Australia visa, or a Gulf residency. Without this condition, the application goes through the embassy (OuiVisa refers you to an agency). Algeria is not visa-exempt. Fees by duration: OMR 5 (10 d) / OMR 20 (30 d) / OMR 50 (1 yr).
