COVID-19 Regulations in Oman & iDrive 4×4 Policy

The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has announced that tourists are exempted from quarantine and polymerase testing (PCR) before coming to the Sultanate of Oman. This means there is NO requirement for PCR testing and quarantine. 

The following regulations do apply for tourists:

– Apply for your tourist visa before travelling, using the following link: https://evisa.rop.gov.om/en/home
– There is NO need for PCR testing before boarding the airplane. This saves you around €150,- per person compared to many other destinations which do require such a test!
– Upon arrival in Oman, a PCR test will be taken by local medical staff. The traveler needs to stay in the pre booked hotel until the test results come in. This will typically be within 24 to 48 hours. You will need to pre-register for the PCR test in Oman by using this link: https://covid19.emushrif.om/
– The traveler needs to show a valid international travel insurance, covering the costs of Covid-19 related treatment.
