Oman

We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Oman due to the regional security situation in the Middle East. Reconsider your need to travel to border areas with Yemen due to the threat of armed conflict and violence.

The security situation in the Middle East is unpredictable. If the regional security situation deteriorates again, this may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions at short notice (see ‘Safety’). Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests. Monitor local media for updates and follow the advice of authorities.

You’ll need a valid visa to travel to Oman. The type of visa depends on your country of residence and purpose of travel. Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Oman due to the regional security situation in the Middle East.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
