Oman Visit Visa Planning Notes for Ghana Citizens

Not inside Oman. ROP has said tourist and visit visas cannot be changed into residence or employment visas without leaving the country. A job in Oman needs a work visa that the employer applies for, and the employee enters on it. Use the tourist visa for holidays and family visits only. We arrange sponsored tourist visas; an employer handles the work route.

Ghanaian passport holders are not included in Oman’s published 14-day visa-exemption lists, so they should check the appropriate visa route before travelling. The Royal Oman Police does not publish a complete list of nationalities eligible to apply for an unsponsored tourist eVisa, so the available option must be checked for your passport. For a private visit, you may be asked to provide a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photograph, travel dates and details of your accommodation. If you plan to stay with friends rather than in a hotel, confirm which proof of accommodation is accepted for your application. We can help check whether an unsponsored eVisa or a sponsored tourist visa is available and explain the documents required for your case.

Yes. Ghana is a yellow fever risk country, so Oman expects travellers aged nine months or older arriving from Ghana to carry a valid vaccination certificate. The rule also applies if you transit for more than 12 hours in another risk country, such as Nigeria. The certificate is valid for life once ten days have passed after the first dose. Keep it in your hand luggage with your passport.
