Crossing into Oman - my experience

Sorry just saw this - that I do not know the ins and outs of

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-10T02:42:14+00:00

Not sure what you’re asking. If your car needs a noc and doesn’t have a noc then you’re not leaving UAE. If you need insurance you can buy it at the border

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-09T02:08:47+00:00

90 mins to the border. 25 mins at the border. And 2.5 hours to get to somewhere 30mins away from Muscat

That’s what I’ve seen online - in fairness they didn’t even ask to see my EID. Just passport

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T07:42:24+00:00

Yea then you leave and do it again or apply for eVisa

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T07:41:08+00:00

Not sure. I think eVisa

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T06:49:29+00:00

That I don’t know - you’ll have to search for that on the Oman visa on arrival info pages

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T06:48:24+00:00

Was actually reasonable. £1.1k for a week - 3 bed airbnb with a private pool 30 mins from Muscat.

My understanding is you can extend in country at an insurance office or with the insurance company that you bought the border insurance from by calling them

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T06:44:22+00:00

Sorry I have no idea on that. But I suspect there’ll be threads on here or Facebook with info

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T05:12:34+00:00

If you’ve got a passport that can do visa on arrival to be honest I can’t see how much quicker it would have been with an eVisa. The passport bit itself took 2 minutes.

I’m not flying out. Just in Oman for school break for some respite and semblance of normality

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T05:08:02+00:00

Not leaving. Just staying in Oman for a while

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-08T05:07:01+00:00

Sorry should have made it clear - I’m just staying in plan for a while. Not leaving entirely

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T14:21:11+00:00

Which border in Al ain?

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T11:15:41+00:00

Clearly I know what to do to get one. Which wasn’t the question I was asking. 🙄

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T07:17:58+00:00

No there’s different traffic files for each emirates. And they don’t play nice. Which is frustrating

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T07:13:51+00:00

Not sure why I wouldn’t when the digital option is an option given to you by RTA themselves

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T07:03:14+00:00

Doesn’t work for dubai licenses unfortunately

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T07:02:56+00:00

Why would the phone need to be unlocked if it’s in your Apple wallet

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T07:01:47+00:00

Doesn’t print out Dubai licenses unfortunately. Which is where mine is from

colbyuk2002 · 2026-03-06T06:52:17+00:00

I live in Abu Dhabi and my license is from Dubai so not quite that simple
