The fight against COVID-19 is still in place, though it is not as massive as it was last year. The countries have mandated different entry procedures for travellers, and some of these requirements involve a pre-arrival registration process for the travellers. As a part of this requirement, Oman has also mandated a pre-arrival registration process.
As part of Oman’s entry and registration process, eMushrif is no longer used for all travellers pre-arrival to Oman. Effective from January 18 2022, travellers to Oman are mandated to register themselves on Oman’s Ministry of Health arrival registration website. Here is everything you need to know about Oman’s arrival registration process.

Arrival registration
All passengers are mandated to pre-register and upload their vaccine certificate and negative PCR certificate at Oman’s Ministry of Health website by registering for the Travel Registration Form (TRF).
Travel Registration Form (TRF)
Both vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers travelling to Oman must submit their vaccination certificates (if they are fully vaccinated) and negative PCR test results. All travellers need to complete this registration process prior to being on board to avoid any consequences, such as being denied entry.
Please note that:
- This does not apply to passengers with a diplomatic passport travelling on duty
- In the case where you are travelling to Oman for employment, your sponsor can complete and pay for this registration on your behalf.
What are the required documents?
Before pre-registering for the TRF (Travel Registration Form), travellers must gather the following documents:
- a valid travel document (passport or Omani National ID/Omani Residency Card)
- a debit card or a credit card (for online payment).
- a valid flight ticket (flight number required).
- vaccine certificate
- a valid PCR test. For 8+ hour flights, the PCR test report will be valid for 96 hours, while for flights less than 8 hours, the PCR test report will be valid for 72 hours
- a valid medical condition form (if you can’t take any PCR test or vaccine due to medical conditions)
Travellers can go through some other vital information before registering for their TRF here.

TRF fees
Registration is free of charge for fully vaccinated passengers with negative PCR test reports before arrival.
However, passengers who fail to meet these requirements will be subject to some additional charges. If required to take an on-arrival test, the passenger should pay OMR 19 to pay for the service.
TRF validity
If you arrive in Oman by air or sea, your TRF will be valid for seven days from the arrival date. The form is valid for one-time use only.
Other services
Oman’s Ministry of Health also provides other services, namely registering for the drive-thru PCR test or registering for the rapid antigen test on its website.
