Do Korean citizens need a visa to enter Oman?

Yes. Holders of a Korean passport need a visa in advance or a visa on arrival to enter Oman. You can apply for an Oman e-Visa online beforehand, or get a visa on arrival at Muscat Airport. Be sure to check the latest visa policy before you travel.

Can I use an eSIM for navigation when driving a rental car in Oman?

Of course. Google Maps and Waze cover Oman's road network well, so with eSIM data alone you can drive comfortably without a separate GPS device. A reliable data connection is especially important on remote driving routes such as Wadi Shams and Nizwa.

Is the dress code in Oman strict? Is there anything I should know before my trip?

Oman is relatively open among Middle Eastern countries, but when you visit a mosque or a traditional market (souq) you need clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Ordinary swimwear is fine on the beach or at a resort, but in public places it is in keeping with local etiquette to avoid revealing clothing.

Is it okay to travel to Oman during Ramadan?

Travelling itself is possible during Ramadan. However, eating or drinking in public places is prohibited during daylight hours. Most restaurants close during the day and open after sunset, so it pays to arrange your schedule in advance. It is handy to look up local restaurant opening hours in real time with your Yeohaengyusim eSIM.

What do I do if I run low on data while using my Oman eSIM?

You can buy an additional plan on the Yeohaengyusim website or app and apply it to the same device right away. You don't need to find a local carrier shop in Oman; you can top up simply with your smartphone.

Does eSIM work in Oman?

Oman supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩2,396. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to Oman?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a Oman eSIM use?

In Oman it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as Omantel · Ooredoo Oman · Vodafone Oman (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 90%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in Oman?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my Oman eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in Oman?

Yes. In Oman you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in Oman. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

A hidden gem of the Middle East, Oman is a country that captures the very essence of the Arabian Peninsula. Golden deserts, sheer wadi canyons and the clear Arabian Sea come together in scenery you cannot forget once you have seen it. From the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in the capital, Muscat, to the old fort at Nizwa and camping in the Wahiba Sands, Oman is still unfamiliar to travellers from Korea, which makes the experience all the more special. When you drive across vast remote country in a rental car or explore isolated coastal villages, a reliable data connection is essential if you do not want to get lost. With a single Yeohaengyusim eSIM, you install it before departure Incheon Airport and can use maps and search freely right after landing at Muscat Airport. No SIM swap, no queueing: just focus on the scenery of Oman.

Why an eSIM really helps in Oman

Oman's land area is about three times that of Korea, and its sights are not all clustered in central Muscat. As you travel between far-flung attractions such as the Wahiba Sands, the Musandam fjords and the tropical coast of Salalah, you may regret not having sorted out a local SIM in advance. Muscat International Airport does have SIM sales booths, but if you arrive late at night or need to move on quickly, there may not even be time to buy one. Install a Yeohaengyusim eSIM before departure and that worry disappears. The 4G/LTE network provided by Omantel and Ooredoo Oman boasts about 90% coverage in the main cities and along the national highways. The signal can be weak at remote campsites and in some mountain areas, but it is stable enough while you are on the move and at tourist sites. Rental-car navigation, Google Maps, checking your accommodation bookings: one eSIM covers all the internet you really need on your trip. Your existing Korean number stays as it is, so there is no worry about losing touch with your family.
