Post new topic

leonardo68

Dear friends,
i have a question regarding the subject. I read some post but it is not clear to me. I will move to Muscat for a new job next month, i will be resident and my girl friend would like to come to stay a couple of week there with me.
I read that in order to get a turistic visa, she need a sponsor which can't be my company because she is not close parent and i understood that companies provided sponsor only for close parents.
I also read that some people bring girl friend without problem, no sponsor.
Did some of you have experience about ? Can she get a visa with normal procedure without sponsor, or the Oman will not allow her to go alone ?
I have to move soon and i would like to know which procedure follow before to buy air tickets for her.
For information,  I'm italian and she is kazak.
Thanks a lot if somebody can help.
Wish a great day.

Thanks for answer but, sorry for my not competence in the matter, how she can get visa from airport without sponsor? She is not italian, she is from Kazakhastan and i believe for them it is not allow to get visa upon arrival at the airport if they don't have a sponsor. Do you know if i can invite her with invitation letter, considering i will be resident, without sponsor?
Thanks again.

Dear Leonardo,

There are some countries that get on-arrival visa in Oman. Please have a look at the listed countries.

For all others you must arrange a visa beforehand, this can be done either through a sponsor (Your company) or a tourist agency.

Dear Rammy,
thank you for your answer. Yes, i read that web site, considering she is Kazak she need to arrange visa before arrival and, considering also that she is not my wife yet (so she is not "parents") my company will not sponsorise her.
So, as i understood also from the other friend which wrote me, i should use a touristic agency in Muscat correct ?
I'm planning to came there first week of August, do coembody suggest me some travel agency which i can contact for this scope ?
Thanks again to all can help me, wish you all a very good day.
