Oman Student Visa
The Oman Student Visa allows international students to enrol at educational institutions in the Sultanate, based on formal acceptance and, in most cases, sponsorship by the educational institution itself. Unlike the unsponsored tourist eVisa, student visa applications typically require the sponsoring institution to register on the ROP eVisa system and support the application on the student’s behalf. Since 2025, health insurance has become a mandatory requirement for expatriates and students in Oman, covering medical expenses during their stay. Applications are processed through the official Royal Oman Police (ROP) eVisa portal, coordinated with the sponsoring institution. Final approval rests solely with the Royal Oman Police.
Eligibility
To apply for an Oman Student Visa, applicants generally must:
- Hold an acceptance letter from a recognised Omani educational institution
- Hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Oman
- Have their sponsoring institution register and support the visa application on the ROP eVisa portal
- Provide proof of tuition fee payment or financial sponsorship
- Hold mandatory health insurance covering their stay (required since 2025)
- Show proof of accommodation arrangements during the study period
- Meet standard health and character requirements
Government Visa Fees
| Fee Component | Approximate Cost |
| Student Visa (sponsored, via educational institution) | Fee varies; confirm with institution/ROP |
*Student visa fees depend on the specific sponsoring arrangement with the Omani educational institution and are not centrally published as a single fixed rate. Information may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances — always confirm exact Oman Visa Fees with your sponsoring institution or on the official evisa.rop.gov.om portal.
Oman Visa Processing Time
Oman Visa Processing Time for the Student Visa depends on how quickly the sponsoring educational institution registers and submits the required application details on the ROP eVisa portal. Since this process depends on institutional coordination rather than a simple individual online application, it can take longer than the standard unsponsored tourist eVisa. Applicants are strongly advised to begin the process well in advance of their intended enrolment date, working closely with their institution’s admissions or international student office to ensure all sponsor-side steps are completed promptly.
