Muscat: Royal Oman Police (ROP) will soon begin to issue work visas electronically as part of the efforts to develop and expand the scope of the e-Visa system.


Under the new system, according to ROP, the PROs or authorized officials at various establishments will not be required to visit the offices of Directorate General of Passport and Residence to submit the applications for a work visa.


"Instead they can get the formalities completed provided their establishments are registered in the e-Visa system.


The organizations already registered in the e-Visa system will be eligible to apply for work visas online in the initial stages.


The establishments, not previously registered in the old system, must go to the nearest branch of the General Directorate of Passports and Residence to register in the commercial register under the old system and then follow certain steps.


They should register as a user under the electronic visa system by visiting the website https://evisa.rop.gov.om.


According to ROP, this initiative will minimize the time and efforts of both the people and the competent officials.


"Enabling people to fill the visa application form online will reduce the time taken for purchasing the application form and getting it typed. It also removes the time taken by the visa officer to re-type the information at the time of submission.


Currently, the service is followed in the submission of applications for new visa or renewal residence visa.


Over the past few years, ROP has been moving towards the e-Visa system, especially for most of the tourist and other unsponsored visas.
