Hello All.....I wanna know if a person can drive private car on visit visa as ROP website it is mentioned that yes you can drive on visit visa in oman but its not mentioned about the type of vehicle.you can drive rent vs private....also for how long you can drive on visit visa e.g. if you have renewed visit visa multiple time than you can drive on each one?

Thanks

Dear,
Legally :-) You can drive only a rented vehicle; when on a visit visa and even for that you are supposed to have an international driving license; which is acceptable here in Oman. Not all the international driving licenses from all the countries are acceptable here in Oman.
I hope this was helpful.

Regards,
Mumtaz

Oh by the way, there is no limit on how many times you can drive; there is simply no limit. :-)
