Visiting Oman: Cape Verdean citizen → Oman
You need a visa — arranged by a sponsor in Oman
Cape Verde passport holders are not on the Royal Oman Police's unsponsored tourist-visa lists or the Foreign Ministry's visa-exemption lists, so a visit to Oman needs a sponsored visa: an approved sponsor resident in Oman (for tourism, typically a licensed Omani tour operator or hotel; for family visits, your Omani host or resident relative) applies for you in the official eVisa system — e.g. the sponsored Tourist Visa (30 days, OMR 20).
The bottom line
- The sponsored Tourist Visa is single entry with a 30-day stay (extendable once by the same period), must be used within 3 months of issue, and requires a typed and stamped letter from the sponsor explaining the purpose of the visit.
- Sponsor registration in the eVisa system is only available to residents of the Sultanate of Oman — you cannot apply for this visa yourself from abroad.
- Possession of a valid visa does not guarantee entry — entry to Oman is at the discretion of the Royal Oman Police officer at the port of entry.

Where you'll apply
Your sponsor applies from inside Oman in the official ROP eVisa system while you remain in your home country — you must be outside the Sultanate of Oman at the time of application. Once granted, travel with your passport (valid 6+ months) and the visa.
