Which visa should I pick — 26A or 26B?

26A is 10 days for OMR 5; 26B is 30 days for OMR 20. Both are single-entry tourist visas with the same conditions, so choose by trip length — and note the first extension (same length as the original) can be done online.

What happens if I overstay?

The official conditions state a fine of OMR 10 for every day of overstay, so extend online before your visa lapses rather than after.

I'm not on the eligible list — can I still get an Oman e-visa?

Possibly. If you hold a valid Schengen visa or a valid visa for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia or Japan, the 26M (30-day) and 26N (10-day) routes open the e-visa to a wider list of nationalities. Otherwise the visa must be sponsored.

Oman tourist e-visa — OMR 5 for 10 days or OMR 20 for 30 days

Oman's unsponsored tourist e-visas are applied for at the Royal Oman Police portal evisa.rop.gov.om. Eligible (G1-list) nationalities choose between the 26A visa — 10 days for OMR 5 — and the 26B visa — 30 days for OMR 20. Both require a passport valid 6 months on entry and a valid hotel booking in Oman. A first extension of stay, equal to the original visa length, can be done by the applicant online.

who needs it	Nationals on Oman's G1 approved list apply directly. Travellers from a wider list of nationalities can qualify via the 26M/26N routes if they hold a valid Schengen visa or a valid visa for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia or Japan. Some nationalities (the G1 Special list, including New Zealand under 26C) get free or extended entry — the portal's visa-type checker states each rule.
