France visa for Omani citizens

France’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is france-visas.gouv.fr. Processing time, as France states it: Usually 15 days after lodging the file, up to 45 days in individual cases; allow extra time to obtain an appointment. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

France has 1 mission in Oman, with its embassy in Muscat.

In 2025, France’s embassy and consulates in Oman (Muscat) received 13,125 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 11,839. 9.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 9.6%. Applications rose by 102% compared with 2024 (6,496).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.5% of the applications lodged in Oman that year, from 3.7% at the consulates of Austria to 16.6% at those of Spain. France’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. France was the most applied-for Schengen state in Oman.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Oman, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Oman to France, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates France at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 20 October 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to France (updated 22 October 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for France (updated 28 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
