Oman recognises Covaxin for entering the country without quarantine

The government of Oman on October 27 added Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin to the approved list of Covid vaccines for travel to the country. All passengers from India who have received two doses of Covaxin at-least 14 days before the estimated arrival date will now be able to travel to Oman without the requirement of quarantine.

However, all other Covid related requirements/conditions, such as pre-arrival RT-PCR test shall be applicable for such passengers.

The approval will significantly ease travel to Oman for Indians who have taken Covaxin. Passengers who have taken AstraZeneca/Covishield are already permitted to travel to Oman without quarantine.
