Muscat: Citizens and residents living in Oman and travelling to the United Kingdom will have to shell out more money for visa from next month. From April 9, 2025, travellers from Oman applying for up to 6-month visit visa will have to pay £127 compared to the current fee of £115, an increase of £12, according to the UK Government.

A long-term visa for up to two-year will cost £475 from the past £432. And the five-year visa cost will be hiked by £77 to £848 and a 10-year visa fee will be increased by £96 to £1,059.

Citizens visiting the UK can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which currently costs £10.

But plans are there that it will also be raised to £16 from April 9.
