What Is the Oman eVisa for Hayya Card Holders?
The Oman eVisa for Hayya Card Holders is a special online entry visa option for travellers who hold an event-issued Hayya Card and meet the Royal Oman Police eligibility rules. Managed through the Royal Oman Police eVisa portal, the scheme simplifies entry checks for eligible Hayya visa categories by letting card-holders apply electronically before travel. The ROP eVisa platform centralised online applications in recent years to replace earlier manual consular processes for many visitor visa types.
Applications are submitted on the official portal at evisa.rop.gov.om or via DoVisa for guided completion, document checks and support. On approval you receive an email confirmation and an electronic visa record to present to airlines and immigration — keep the confirmation PDF or screenshot of the approval message and any QR/reference code linked to your eVisa. The portal requires passport details and, for some categories, a valid Civil Number or sponsor information as indicated on the ROP site.
The Oman eVisa for Hayya Card Holders is an entry visa — not a residency permit — and it must be used for the specified trip. Immigration decisions remain at the border: arrival officers verify your passport, Hayya Card entitlements and the eVisa record. Recent updates from the Ministry and ROP have streamlined online eligibility checks and added video guidance to the eVisa site to reduce on-arrival delays.

Travel Tips for Oman Visitors
Oman is a geographically diverse country on the Arabian Peninsula with modern airports and a mix of coastal and desert attractions. Most international travellers arrive at Muscat International Airport (MCT). Other international gateways include Salalah International Airport, Duqm International Airport, Sohar International Airport and Khasab Airport.
- Best time to visit: October–April for cooler weather and outdoor activities.
- Currency: Omani Rial (OMR). Major hotels and tourist operators accept cards and some accept USD — amounts over 20,000 USD must be declared on entry/exit.
- Language: Arabic is the official language; English is widely spoken in hotels, airports and tourist services.
- Time zone: Oman Standard Time is GMT+4.
- Local laws: Oman is conservative — dress modestly in public and avoid public displays of affection. Observe local rules during Ramadan.
- Transport: Taxis and rental cars are common; hire 4x4s with guides for desert excursions and always check weather warnings for wadis and flash floods.
- Safety: Exercise increased caution near the Yemen border and follow local authority advice; register with your embassy or consulate if travelling in higher-risk areas.
- Airport transfers: Confirm arrival pick-up times with your hotel or sponsor — internal flights connect Muscat with Salalah and other gateways.
