Jeddah: In a huge relief for Saudi-affiliated NRIs, Oman announced on Friday that it would lift the previously restricted access restrictions.
According to the civil aviation authority, all visa holders would now be allowed to enter the country.
The Sultanate of Oman had earlier barred access to the land for those who were not residents or citizens.
Last week, the government issued a circular that read: “Based on the decisions of the Supreme Committee, access to the Sultanate is restricted to Omani citizens and holders of visas only issued until April 5, 2021.”
Several travel agencies in Hyderabad have offered special Oman packages that transport Saudi-connected passengers via Oman with 14 days in Muscat. Saudi Arabia may only allow passengers coming from India to enter a third country for only 14 days.
