MUSCAT: Oman has lifted the ban on passengers arriving from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Eswatini, and Mozambique, the Supreme Committee said on Sunday.

On November 28, the Supreme Committee imposed ban on seven countries due to the spread of Omicron variant.

The Supreme Committee has issued a decision making two-dose vaccination mandatory for expats aged 18 and above to enter Oman from all ports.

The Supreme Committee also said entry will be allowed to those who present a negative PCR certificate which should be conducted “within a period not exceeding 72 hours prior to arrival.”
