Oman visa
MuscatOman has a visa written specifically for people in your position — the GCC Resident Tourist Visa — but it turns on your job title rather than your nationality: the main traveller must hold one of the professions the Royal Oman Police lists as approved, with a companion visa available for whoever travels with them. That is the single thing worth checking before anything else, because a family can be eligible or not on the strength of one line in a residence permit. The ROP asks for applications at least four days ahead. We read the profession list against your visa and tell you straight away which way it falls.
