Oman and Pakistan Sign Visa Exemption Agreement

On 14 October 2026, Oman and Pakistan signed a visa exemption agreement at the Prime Minister's Office in Islamabad, allowing holders of diplomatic, special, service, and official passports to enjoy visa-free entry between the two nations. The signing occurred during an official visit by Oman's Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in attendance.

The agreement, which significantly eases cross-border travel for eligible passport holders, reflects a commitment to strengthening bilateral relations. Additionally, both countries formalized four memoranda of understanding covering telecommunications and information technology, radio and broadcasting, the exchange of news and information, and a partnership between Oman's National Records and Archives Authority and Pakistan's National Archives.

These agreements are intended to enhance coordination and promote expertise exchange between the institutions of both nations, thereby advancing shared governmental interests.
