Sponsored visa: Requires an authorised sponsor to apply on your behalf. Atlys is an authorised sponsor and get you the Oman visa on time. With Atlys, you can apply for your visa online.
Unsponsored visa: Only eligible applicants can apply for an Oman unsponsored visa. You need a valid residence permit or visa from Australia, Canada, Japan, the U.K., the USA, a Schengen country, or Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) residence card.
