The government of Oman has decided to relax a visa ban, introduced last October, against Bangla-deshis, a statement issued by the Embassy of Sultanate of Oman in Bangladesh said on Wednesday (June 12, 2024).
"The exempted categories are family visas, visitation visas for citizens of Bangladesh residing in GCC countries, physician, engineer, nurse, teacher, accountant, investor, all types of official visas and high income tourists," the statement said.
The Oman embassy in Dhaka will receive and process all applications from applicants belonging to the above-mentioned categories and will coordinate duly with Royal Oman Police (ROP) to issue the visa, according to the statement.
"All applications must be submitted with documentation duly attested to verify the eligibility of the applicant for the requested visa. Processing of applications will take one to four weeks depending on the particulars of each application," it added.
