Diplomatic, special and service passport holders: visa waiver for travel to Spain and Oman

The Agreement between Spain and Oman establishes a reciprocal visa waiver for nationals of both countries holding diplomatic, special or service passports (Art. 1 and 2). Holders may enter, transit, and leave the territory of the other Party without a visa, with a stay limit of 90 days within any 180-day period (Art. 2.2 and 2.3). This measure aims to facilitate official travel and promote friendship and cooperation between both nations.

In 3 key points

  1. Permitted stay of 90 days within any 180-day period (Art. 2.2 and 2.3). (art. 2.2 y 2.3)
  2. Prohibition on engaging in activities requiring work authorisation (Art. 3). (art. 3)
  3. Entry into force on 19 June 2026 (Art. 15). (art. 15)

How it affects those involved

For officials and personnel with diplomatic, special or service passports, the requirement to process visas for short stays in Spain or Oman is removed (Art. 2). The permitted stay is up to 90 days within a 180-day period (Art. 2.2 and 2.3). However, it is strictly prohibited to engage in any activity requiring work authorisation during the stay (Art. 3).
