For our fellow travelers from Cabo Verde, a visa is indeed a must-have before you set off for Oman.

This means you'll 'ba ta ten ki' apply online, submitting all necessary documents and paying the required fees well before your travel date. Make sure all your details are correct to ensure a smooth journey to the Sultanate.

Your passport, our 'kriolu' friends, needs to be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Oman. Keli é un kusa importantíssima, so double-check those expiry dates!

Beyond the validity period, ensure you have at least two blank pages in your passport. These are needed for entry and exit stamps, so make sure your passport is 'na boa' and ready for the journey.

If you're just passing through Omani airports and staying within the international transit area, with a confirmed onward ticket and a layover that isn't too long (usually under 24 hours), then generally, a separate transit visa 'ka ta da pa' ser needed. You'll remain airside, 'dja sta'.

For citizens of Cabo Verde, the primary and effectively the sole 'Travel Authorization' needed to enter Oman is the eVisa. There isn't a distinct Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system akin to what some countries use; the eVisa serves this exact purpose.
