Who Is Eligible?

Omani citizens holding a valid Omani passport are eligible to apply for a Turkey e-Visa for tourism or business purposes. As of 2026, the Turkish government classifies Oman under the e-Visa eligible countries list, meaning you do not need to apply at a Turkish embassy or consulate.

The e-Visa is valid for tourism, visiting family or friends, transit, and short business trips such as attending conferences, meetings, or trade fairs. It does not permit work or study in Turkey. For work or long-term study, you must apply for the appropriate visa category at the Turkish Embassy in Muscat.

Important — Passport Validity Rule

Your Omani passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Turkey. If your passport expires within 6 months, renew it before applying. Apply for passport renewal at the Royal Oman Police (ROP) Civil Status portal: rop.gov.om.

Document Checklist for Omani Citizens

You need only three things to complete the Turkey e-Visa application:

1

Valid Omani passport

Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your Turkey travel dates. Passport number must match your flight ticket exactly.

2

Email address

Your approved e-Visa will be sent to this address as a PDF. Use an address you check regularly.

3

Credit or debit card

International Visa, Mastercard, or American Express cards are accepted. NBO, BankMuscat, and HSBC Oman cards all work. Bank transfer is not available.

Also useful at the airport: Turkish immigration officers at Istanbul Airport (IST) and Antalya Airport (AYT) may ask to see your return flight ticket and hotel booking. Have these ready on your phone even though they are not required during the online application.

How to Apply — Step-by-Step

1

Go to the official Turkish e-Visa portal

Visit evisa.gov.tr — the only official government site. Avoid third-party sites that charge extra fees for the same service. The official site has "Republic of Türkiye" in the header.

2

Select your nationality and travel document

Choose "Oman" as your nationality and "Ordinary Passport" as your travel document type. The system will confirm you are eligible for an e-Visa.

3

Enter your personal and travel details

Fill in your full name (exactly as in your passport), passport number, date of birth, passport expiry date, intended arrival date in Turkey, and your email address.

4

Pay the USD 50 fee

Enter your credit or debit card details. The charge will appear on your statement as "REPUBLIC OF TURKEY E-VISA". Print or save the payment confirmation.

5

Wait for email approval

Most applications are approved within 24–72 hours. You will receive the approved e-Visa as a PDF attachment. Print one copy and save a digital copy on your phone.

6

Present at Turkish immigration

At the Turkish border, hand the immigration officer your Omani passport and the printed e-Visa (or show it on your phone). The officer will stamp your passport. Keep the e-Visa with you for the duration of your stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Omani citizens get a Turkey visa on arrival?
No. As of 2026, Omani passport holders cannot get a Turkey visa on arrival. You must apply online for a Turkey e-Visa before departure at evisa.gov.tr. The e-Visa is approved within 24–72 hours and costs USD 50. It is valid for 180 days from the date of issue with a maximum stay of 30 days per visit.
Is the e-Visa the same as a Turkish sticker visa?
No. The e-Visa is electronic and linked to your passport number — there is no physical sticker. When you arrive in Turkey, the immigration officer sees your visa status digitally when they scan your passport. You still present the printed e-Visa confirmation as a secondary reference.
What if my Turkey e-Visa application is rejected?
If rejected, the USD 50 fee is non-refundable. Common rejection reasons: passport data mismatch, name spelling different from ticket, expired passport, or applying too far in advance (apply no more than 3 months before travel). If rejected, you can re-apply after correcting the issue. For persistent rejections, apply for a sticker visa at the Turkish Embassy in Muscat: Al Khuwair district, call +968 2469 2400.
Can I extend my Turkey e-Visa once I am in Turkey?
The e-Visa itself cannot be extended. However, if you want to stay beyond 30 days, you can apply for a short-term residence permit at the Turkish immigration office (Yabancılar Şubesi) within Turkey. This is a separate, more involved process requiring additional documentation. A simpler option for many Omani travellers is to exit Turkey briefly (e.g., a day trip to a neighbouring country) and re-enter on the same e-Visa if it is still within its 180-day validity window.
