Assessments of Oman range from level 2 to level 4, a spread of two levels. South Korea and New Zealand take the strictest view and five of the eleven governments the most relaxed, with the largest group at level 2. A gap this size usually means the risk is concentrated in particular areas rather than spread evenly across the country.
Every government here has revisited Oman within the past year, the oldest review being South Korea's in March 2026, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.
The warnings for Oman are not uniform across the country. Four distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Yemen border area and Musandam and the border area of Oman with Yemen. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
South Korea and New Zealand currently advise against all travel, and that has consequences beyond the wording: most policies void cover for travel taken against your own government's advice, and consular assistance may be limited or unavailable on the ground.
