Oman's government will soon open visas for Bangladeshi nationals in 12 categories only. 

The following visas will be available for Bangladeshi nationals:

  • Family visas
  • Visit visas for Bangladeshi nationals living in other GCC countries
  • Doctor’s visas 
  • Engineers' visas 
  • Nurses' visas 
  • Teachers' visas 
  • Accountants' visas 
  • Investors' visas

All types of official visas will also be issued for Bangladeshi nationals. 

Bangladeshi nationals' arrivals in Oman dropped by 50 percent when the Sultanate's Royal Oman Police (ROP) suspended the issuance of all visas for Bangladeshis on Oct. 31, 2023. 

However, Bangladesh's Embassy in Muscat issued a statement, clarifying that the suspension was temporary, which has led to the recent decision to reopen some visas for Bangladeshi nationals.
