Sponsored Tourist Visa (type 6): Pakistani citizen in Pakistan → Oman
Pakistani citizens cannot get Oman's unsponsored tourist eVisa — the official eligibility wizard offers none for this passport, and the nationality is not on the Foreign Ministry's visa-exemption lists — so a visit runs on a sponsored visa: an approved sponsor resident in Oman (typically a licensed tour operator, hotel or your host) applies for the sponsored Tourist Visa (30 days, OMR 20) in the eVisa system.
Oman visit visa arranged by an approved sponsor resident in Oman — the sponsor applies in the Royal Oman Police eVisa system; single entry, 30-day stay, OMR 20.

When to start
Start 7–21 days before your travel date.
The ROP eVisa portal's eligibility wizard, run for this nationality (not GCC-resident), lists NO unsponsored tourist visa — the only unsponsored type offered is the Truck Driver Visa (12B). The nationality is also absent from the Group-1 eligible-country list and from the Foreign Ministry's 14-day exemption groups, so a tourist visit requires a visa applied for by a sponsor in Oman.
The sponsored Tourist Visa requires an approved Oman sponsor — for tourism this is typically a licensed Omani tour operator or hotel; for visiting people you know, your host resident in Oman. The sponsor prepares a typed and stamped letter explaining the purpose of your visit.
Sponsor registration in the ROP eVisa system is only available to residents of the Sultanate of Oman — the sponsor logs in and submits the Tourist Visa application with your passport copy, photo and the sponsor letter. You must be outside Oman at the time of application.
The fee for the sponsored Tourist Visa is OMR 20, paid in the eVisa system with the application.
The visa is single entry, must be used within 3 months of issue, and gives a 1-month stay. On entry your passport must be valid at least 6 months. Final admission is decided at the border.
The 1-month stay can be extended by the same period: the first extension can be done by you; second and subsequent extensions require visiting a DGPCS (civil status) office. Overstaying is fined OMR 10 per day.
