Germany visa for Omani citizens

For the tourist visa, Germany’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on videx.diplo.de. Processing time, as Germany states it: Usually 15 days after the mission receives the file, up to 45 days in individual cases; any waiting time for an appointment comes on top. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

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

In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Oman (Muscat) received 9,536 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 8,920. The refusal rate was 6.4%. The refusal rate fell by 1.8 points from 8.2% in 2024. The number of applications was almost unchanged (9,639 in 2024).

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. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 4th 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.

Omani citizens planning a trip to Germany can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Germany at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 12 May 2025) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Germany (updated 11 August 2026). Each ministry writes for its own citizens.
