Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the start of implementation of the mutual visa exemption agreement between the Sultanate of Oman and the Russian Federation as of July 18 this month, allowing Omani citizens to travel to Russia without the need for a prior visa, in accordance with the agreed conditions.
In a post on its X account, the ministry urged Omani citizens wishing to travel to Russia to abide by the regulations and laws in force in the host country and to observe the following:
The traveler's date of entry into Russia must be after the date the agreement enters into force.
The passport must be valid for no less than 6 months.
The duration of stay on each visit must not exceed 30 days, provided that the cumulative stay within one calendar year does not exceed 90 days.
The visa exemption does not cover long-term stays or stays for study, work or activities that require an official permit.
The ministry stressed the importance of adhering to these rules to avoid any violations that may result from non-compliance with the regulations in force in the host country.
