Muscat – Expatriates getting their visa renewed do not need to get their passports stamped with the visa, the Royal Oman Police(ROP) has said.

According to the amendment to the residence visa rule, only resident card (ID card) is enough for all visa purposes.

An ROP official told Muscat Daily, “Stamping of visa on expatriates’ passport is not mandatory in the case of renewal. The traditional system of physically stamping visa on passports has been suspended. The residence card is sufficient for visa purposes.’
