OMAN

There is no Oman Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Oman has been continuing its operations in Dhaka from Qatar embassy premises and it has been represented by a First Secretary, who sits inside the Qatar Embassy.

If you’d like to go to Oman on a business visit or a fact-finding trip before your actual move, you need a visit visa to enter the country. There are now only two types of visit visa – the single entry option and one permitting multiple entries.

The single entry visa can be obtained at all Omani missions abroad. It is usually valid for a month and can be extended for another month by applying at the Directorate General of Passports and Residency. Nationals of selected countries can simply acquire a visit visa upon arrival at all official entry points. But for Bangladeshi citizens need to acquire a tourist package from an officially approved travel agency to be granted a visa.

You can get a multiple-entry visa under similar conditions. It is valid for up to one year and allows you to enter the country for several stays of three weeks each.
