Oman Travel Visa Overview and Entry Notes for Philippines Citizens

Philippine passport holders can visit Oman visa-free for up to 14 days under the country's first-group exemption. To qualify, you'll need a passport valid for at least six months, a confirmed return ticket, hotel reservation, travel health insurance and enough funds for your stay. Entry is subject to approval by Omani immigration, and the 14-day exemption cannot be extended. If your holiday will last longer, our team can help you review your documents and explore suitable Oman tourist eVisa options before departure.

No. Filipinos entering Oman under the 14-day visa-free arrangement cannot use that permission to work or convert it directly into a residence visa. If you receive a job offer, your Omani employer must arrange the appropriate work visa and labour approval. Changing from visitor status to employment status generally requires leaving Oman and re-entering with the correct visa. If you're visiting for tourism or family purposes, our team can help you check the applicable entry requirements and explore suitable tourist visa options.

Filipino passport holders planning a 30-day holiday in Oman should arrange a suitable tourist visa before travelling, as the visa-free exemption only covers 14 days. You can check eligibility for an unsponsored tourist eVisa through the Royal Oman Police or apply for a sponsored tourist visa through a licensed Omani tourism company. Our team can help you review your passport copy, recent photo, travel dates and accommodation details, and guide you through the appropriate application process. Final approval rests with Omani immigration authorities.

Yes. Filipino passport holders living in the UAE or Bahrain can use Oman's 14-day visa-free entry, provided they meet the standard entry requirements. The exemption applies based on Philippine nationality, whether you're travelling from Manila, Dubai or Manama. Carry your passport with at least six months' validity, GCC residence card, return ticket, accommodation details and health insurance. Your Gulf residence may also qualify you for an Oman GCC Resident Tourist Visa if your profession meets the requirements. Our team can help you check eligibility and explore suitable pre-arranged visa options for longer stays.
