Last verified: June 2026 (gov.om source)
Can an Algerian resident of the Gulf enter Oman online?
Yes — it's the easiest route. An Algerian holding a valid Gulf residency (≥ 3 months remaining) with an eligible profession can apply for the Gulf-resident visa at OMR 5 (~$13), 100% online. Passport ≥ 6 months required. Without Gulf residency, use the (conditional) tourist e-Visa or the embassy route.
