MINSK, 6 October (BelTA) - Belarus and Oman have signed an intergovernmental agreement to abolish visas. The agreement is part of a package of documents the texts of which were exchanged in the presence of Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, BelTA has learned.
The document was inked by Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxim Ryzhenkov and Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi.
According to the document, citizens of the two countries who hold national passports valid for at least six months from the date of entry will no longer be required to obtain visas for entry, exit and transit, if the duration of their continuous stay on the territory of the receiving party does not exceed 30 days from the date of entry, and the total duration of stay within a calendar year is within 90 days.
The agreement will contribute to the development and strengthening of cooperation between Belarus and Oman and make travel easier for both countries’ citizens.
The parties have been steadily working to create the most comfortable conditions possible for citizens’ travel. One such measure was the launch of a direct air service between the two countries. The agreement to waive visas for national passport holders was first discussed during the Belarusian president's visit to Oman in December 2024.
