Official wording

Citizens of GCC countries (the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) do not require visas to enter Oman.

Aevamo’s reading

The Foreigners' Residence Law (Royal Decree 16/95) is the statute that creates the obligation defining this regime: Article 5 forbids any foreigner from entering Oman without an entry visa, Article 4(3) exempts GCC citizens, and Article 8 delegates the designation of visa types and exemptions to the Inspector General of Police and Customs, whose office publishes the ROP visa-exemption lists and issued Decision 109/2026 amending the implementing regulation.

The Foreign Ministry's current entry-visas page names the five GCC states and states that their citizens do not require visas to enter Oman; Article 4(3) of the Foreigners' Residence Law (held) exempts GCC citizens from all or some of its provisions. Neither source sets a stay cap for GCC nationals, so the row states NO_LIMIT rather than inventing one.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
