Why this verdict

Kenyan citizens are encoded from the Oman Foreign Ministry entry-visas page and the linked ROP eVisa route for ordinary short visitor travel. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, residence, study, business, sponsored visits, family routes, diplomatic/service passports, overland handling, airline checks, longer stays, extensions, residence transfer, exact ROP visa type and Omani border discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the Oman Foreign Ministry or ROP eVisa source before booking.

Conditional rules

ROP eVisa / visa option eVisa

The Foreign Ministry says citizens of other nationalities can establish their visa options and apply via the ROP eVisa website; the exact visa type is not inferred from nationality alone.
Longer stay, work or residence Visa required

The 14-day facility cannot be extended or transferred to a residence visa; longer stays and non-tourist purposes require the appropriate ROP visa route.
Border, airline or document discretion Conditional

Entry depends on holding the required documents and on current carrier / Omani border handling for the exact itinerary.
