[quote=cyanide;26677]Got a link on ROP website according to the page AGCC expat residents can have visa at the passageways correct me if I am wrong

http://www.rop.gov.om/english/dg_pr_visas_agcc.asp[/quote]

Informative ... I had a discussion with a friend (Indian) who told me that they just cross the border with no issues at all but you should check with this number if you like ..... 043971000

for oman visa, if you are an UAE resident (of course with a valid residency) then you can get a visa on the border (50 AED, it is a one month tourist visa single entry) you can fill the application on site (to know the border name), as well if crossing with your own car make sure you have oman coverage as well
for non UAE resident, i guess depends on the nationality, some they can get visa on site (border), some they have to apply through the embassy or consulate

hope this help

I'm guessing it's open for all, since it's mostly going to be a road trip...
But AlKhatib can confirm otherwise.

This sorts out my confusion with the visa

About the car, I will be driving the car but it is under my father's name it has no bank liability do I need any NOC

Contacted RTA they told to have NOC from Dubai Court

Contacted Dubai Court they told no NOC required just the original car registration and insurance is required

Any idea? :lll._.:

As far as getting Oman visa is concerned, no issues at all for GCC residents (those with resident visas). One can get it at the border. However, there could be a rush, so waiting time can differ accordingly and needs to be factored in. I have some details on this and will post it later, including how to save time during the visa at border process.

For car, oman insurance is required.

As for the trip, awaiting more details, as I can see that it is 4 day trip?

Preferably not here on traveling issues to Oman, as this subject is related to Salalah trip. I suggest, you open your own thread.

No can do - my clients come back on the 15th and I won't drive all the way there in Armin's truck, although I don't mind riding the motorbike. Wish it had happened before but the clients will keep me busy, even on the Saturday. :022:
