Border crossings

You will need the following documents to cross the border, a passport with a Visa on Arrival facility with the UAE (or) a labour card with a profession listed to cross the border i.e. : The profession on your labour card must of a managerial, engineering kind of profession. The vehicle must be registered on your own visa, if it is a company owned (or) leasing company vehicle, it is ideal to have a paper from them expressing that you are taking the vehicle outside the borders (Please check the vehicle leasing company).

In essence you will need the following documents.

1. Passport
2. Omani Labour Card
3. Vehicle Mulkia (it should explicitly state that you have insurance cover for UAE & Oman)
4. Driving License

I think that's about it. Here is a link to a similar discussion I found.

Also here is a tip, while going to Dubai, I used the following route, entered via the Khatmat Malalah border (near Sohar) and exited via the Wajajah border (near Sohar again). That way I saved on about 115 Dirhams as the entry at the KM border is 80 Dhms cheaper than Wajajah, but has an exit fee of 35 DHms. WB has a higher entry fee but no exit charge.

However, this only applies for people who dont have a compatible passport that can avail the visa free entry. Nationals of the UK, US, EU etc get a free Visa on Arrival and their entries and exit at any point does not come into consideration.

Thanks,
