Do Malta citizens need a visa for Oman?
You get the visa at the border. Bring cash/card for the fee, a photo and your onward ticket.
Malta passport holders can currently enter 147 destinations visa-free or with a visa on arrival, and 38 more with an online ETA or e-Visa. Oman admits 83 of 198 passports without a full visa (visa-free, on arrival or ETA).
