Oman
Oman travel guide for Canadians
Canadians need to confirm Oman's entry rule with Oman's immigration authority or Canada's official travel advice before booking; this page cannot confirm a visa type, fee or permitted stay from its sources. What the site can confirm is the practical setup: UK-style G plugs, 9999 for police, fire and ambulance, and a winter trip built around Muscat.

Entry requirements for Canadian passport holders
This page is a dated draft and has not been field-verified. It cannot confirm from its sources whether Canadians need a visa, an e-visa or an ETA for Oman, what it costs, how long it takes, or how long you may stay. Treat any figure you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until the authority confirms it.
The authority that decides is Oman's immigration service, with Canada's government travel advice as the second check. Confirm both before you pay for flights or a hotel. Carry a passport valid well beyond your planned return date and be ready to show onward travel; the exact validity and onward-travel rules are check.
Do not rely on a visa on arrival, a fee waiver or a set permitted stay unless the authority states it for your passport. Rules change by nationality and by date.
- Check Oman's immigration authority for the current rule for Canadian passport holders.
- Cross-check Canada's official travel advice for Oman.
- Confirm passport validity and onward-travel requirements at the same time.
- Keep a copy of any approval with your passport.
Canadian embassy contact in Oman
The site cannot confirm a Canadian embassy address, phone number or email in Oman from its sources, so none is listed here. Use the Embassy tool to find the current Canadian mission for Oman and its consular contact details, and register your trip with the Canadian government if you want to be reachable in an emergency.
For consular help, contact the Canadian mission directly rather than a third party. Details are check.
Costs in Canadian dollars
The site has no confirmed CAD figures for flights, hotels, meals, car hire or a total trip budget, so this page does not quote any. Oman prices are in Omani rial, pegged to the US dollar at about 1 OMR ≈ US$2.60, so a CAD budget moves with the CAD/USD rate on the day you book.
Build your own estimate from the cost-of-travel page, then convert at the rate your card or bank gives you. Add the visa fee once the authority confirms it. Every figure below is check.
| Item | Cost (CAD) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Return flight from Canada to Muscat | Check | check |
| Visa or ETA fee | Check | check |
| Mid-range hotel per night | Check | check |
| Meals per day | Check | check |
| Car hire per day | Check | check |
| 10-day mid-range total | Check | check |
No CAD figure on this page is confirmed by the site's sources; use the cost page and a live exchange rate.
Flying from Canada
The site cannot confirm direct routes, airlines or total journey times from Canadian cities to Muscat, so treat any schedule as check. Most routings to Muscat connect through Europe or the Gulf; confirm the current options with the airline before booking.
Oman runs on UTC+4 all year with no daylight saving. Canada spans several time zones, so work out your own offset from your home city with the flight-time and time-difference planner rather than assuming a fixed gap.
Plugs and voltage
Oman uses UK-style Type G three-pin plugs at 240 V 50 Hz. Bring a G adapter; most modern electronics handle 240 V, but check the label on anything older or high-draw.
Tipping
Tipping is not expected in Oman. Round up taxi fares, and leave 5–10% in restaurants that do not add a service charge.
Emergency numbers
Police, fire and ambulance: 9999. Save it before you land, and keep your consular contact from the Embassy tool separate.
