Oman allows three-month stay on multiple entry visas

28 July 2016

Oman will reportedly relax rules on multiple entry visas for some countries in a bid to boost its economy.

As of July 20, people visiting from 38 countries can stay for three months, an increase from the previous rules which allowed a three-week stay.

It is hoped the extension will allow investors more time to get to know the country and giving tourists more time to spend money, reportedTimes of Oman.

Inbound tourism to Oman in 2015 generated $651.9 million (OR250.9 million), almost double that of 2005, according to statistics from the government web portal.
