Most international visitors need no advance visa: Oman grants 14-day visa-free entry to nationals of more than 100 countries, including the UK, EU/Schengen states, the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, covering the full IMPEX Oman show week. Travellers outside that list — and anyone staying longer than 14 days for plant visits — should apply online for the Omani tourist e-Visa (30 days, single entry, OMR 20, roughly USD 52) through the Royal Oman Police portal at evisa.rop.gov.om, which usually issues approval within one to four working days. GCC nationals enter free on a national ID, and exhibitors temporarily importing equipment can use an ATA carnet. Carry a passport valid for at least six months, a return or onward ticket and your hotel booking; visa costs are separate from the event registration fee.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Valid passport with at least six months' validity and a confirmed onward or return ticket; the 14-day stay covers the full IMPEX Oman show week. Apply at evisa.rop.gov.om before departure; the OMR 20 fee is paid online by card. A 10-day e-Visa is available for shorter trips.
