Sultan Of Oman Ratifies Visa Waiver Agreement With Russia
Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman has issued Royal Decree No. 53 of 2025, ratifying the Oman-Russia visa waiver agreement, which was originally signed in Moscow on April 22, 2025 between the Sultanate of Oman and the government of the Russian Federation.
The decree confirms Oman's formal approval of the agreement, which will come into effect once both countries complete the required legal and technical procedures.
The visa waiver is set to ease travel between the two nations by allowing holders of ordinary passports from Oman and Russia to enter each other's countries without the need for a visa.
This development not only simplifies travel procedures but also opens broader horizons for bilateral cooperation in key sectors such as economy, tourism, education, and investment.
The agreement underscores the Sultanate of Oman's position as a nation open to the world, committed to building balanced strategic partnerships and fostering meaningful international engagement.
The official start date of the visa-free travel arrangement will be announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Oman once all procedural requirements are finalised.
Until the agreement officially takes effect, Omani citizens planning to travel to Russia must continue to obtain entry visas in accordance with current procedures.
