What Oman residents should check first

Whether you are in Muscat, Salalah or Sohar, the process is the same: your Oman Resident Card is the proof of residency the application relies on.

Look at the expiry date printed on your Resident Card and renew it first if it is coming up soon.
Make sure the name on your Resident Card matches the name in your passport exactly, including spelling and order.
Employer letters in Oman are usually issued on company letterhead and signed, so ask HR in advance if you think one may be requested.

Who can apply from Oman

You hold a valid residence permit issued in Oman (Oman Resident Card).
Your passport is valid for at least six months from the date you travel.
Your profession and permit details are acceptable to the UAE authorities. They make the final decision, so approval is never guaranteed.

Questions from Oman residents

Can I apply for a UAE visa with an Oman Resident Card?

Yes. Oman residents apply online with their passport and a valid Resident Card. The UAE authorities make the final call, so approval is not guaranteed.

What if my Oman Resident Card is about to expire?

Renew it before you apply. Applications made with a Resident Card that has little validity left are more likely to be delayed or refused.

Does my name have to match on the card and passport?

It should. A different spelling or name order between your Resident Card and passport is a frequent cause of queries, so check both before uploading.

Which documents do I need if I live in Muscat?

A colour copy of your passport photo page, a passport photograph and a copy of your Oman Resident Card. An employer letter is added only when requested.

Can I apply if I live in Salalah or Sohar rather than Muscat?

Yes. Where in Oman you live does not change anything. The application is online and identical for every resident.
