Official information for Omani citizens regarding the Vietnam e-Visa application in 2026, including fees, flight routes from Muscat, and regional embassy details.
Do Omani Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, Omani citizens are required to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. Fortunately, since August 2023, Vietnam's e-Visa system is open to all nationalities, including Oman. The e-Visa allows you to stay up to 90 days with options for both single and multiple entries.
Applying online through the National Web Portal on Immigration is the required method, eliminating the need to send documents abroad, as there is currently no Vietnamese diplomatic mission located in Oman.
Vietnam E-Visa Requirements for Omani Passport Holders
To apply for your Vietnam e-Visa, ensure you have the following ready before starting the application:
- Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date and have at least 2 blank pages.
- Passport Photo: A recent passport-sized photograph (taken without glasses, looking straight ahead). See the photo requirements for specifications.
- Passport Bio Page: A clear digital scan or photo of your passport's bio-data page.
- Email Address: A working email to receive your visa result.
- Payment Method: A credit or debit card for the visa processing fee.
- Travel Details: Temporary address in Vietnam and your intended entry/exit ports (there are 83 supported entry points).
Visa Cost in USD & OMR and Processing Time
The official government fee for a Vietnam e-Visa is charged in USD. Below is the estimated conversion in Omani Rials (OMR) as of June 2026 (exchange rate approximately 1 USD = 0.385 OMR):
- Single-entry e-Visa: $25 USD (approx. 9.6 OMR)
- Multiple-entry e-Visa: $50 USD (approx. 19.3 OMR)
Processing Time: Standard processing via the National Web Portal on Immigration takes 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and Vietnamese public holidays). Applicants are advised to submit their applications 1-2 weeks in advance of their intended departure date.
Flight Routes from Oman to Vietnam
Currently, there are no direct flights from Muscat International Airport (MCT) to Vietnam. Omani travelers will need to book connecting flights.
Common and convenient transit hubs include:
- Doha (DOH): Flying with Qatar Airways with a layover before heading to Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN).
- Dubai (DXB) or Abu Dhabi (AUH): Flying with Emirates or Etihad Airways.
- Bangkok (BKK): Connecting via Oman Air to Thailand, and then taking a short regional flight to Vietnam.
Total travel time usually ranges from 10 to 14 hours depending on the layover duration.
Vietnamese Embassy Information for Omanis
Please note that there is no Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate located in Oman.
If you require traditional consular services (such as legalizing documents), you must contact the nearest Vietnamese diplomatic missions in the region:
- Embassy of Vietnam in the UAE (Abu Dhabi): Phone: +971 2 449 6710 | Email: [email protected]
- Embassy of Vietnam in Qatar (Doha): Phone: +974 4412 8480 | Email: [email protected]
- Embassy of Vietnam in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh): Phone: +966 1 454 7887
For tourism or business trips under 90 days, eligible travelers should submit their applications via the Vietnam e-Visa online portal rather than seeking traditional consular services.
