All peoples below the age of 18 are counted as children and will require a visa or inclusion in a family visa of some variety. Typically speaking there are no special requirements or adjustments to be made to bring children to Oman.
Bringing pets into Oman is fairly straightforward but you will require the following:
-
A permit from the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture.
-
Up to date health records.
-
Records of up-to-date vaccines including Rabies shots administered during the correct time frame.
-
The pet must be micro chipped.
-
The pet can be no younger than 4 months old.
-
It’s worth noting that there should be no quarantine upon arrival in Oman but the pet will have to undergo inspection by a vet, after which you’ll receive stamped paperwork from the vet allowing you to take your pet home.
Although the veterinary services in Oman are of a high standard, public aggression towards dogs (including police attempts to poison strays) often result in canine fatalities and as such it’s recommended to be very wary of the national’s actions and attitudes towards dogs, even children and even when the dog is on a lead being walked by the owner. Additionally, dogs can only be walked between 10am and 3pm and many beaches do not allow dogs.
