How to apply

What entry costs

Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.

Yellow fever certificate

Arriving from Ethiopia, a yellow fever certificate is required: WHO lists Ethiopia as a transmission risk.

Driving on a Ethiopia license

Oman and Ethiopia are both party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so an International Driving Permit issued in Ethiopia is one Oman is bound to recognize.

Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
