In Oman, there are certain restrictions related to HIV status. If you're visiting Oman as a tourist (i.e. a short-term stay), then you don't need to show any proof of your HIV status. There are no HIV tests or medical certificates required by border control. However, if you want to stay in Oman for a long-term stay (for example, if you're coming as a worker, student or resident), then you'll need to take medical exam, which includes an HIV test. If you're found to be HIV-positive, you will be expelled from the country.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryId=138 OMAN - REGULATIONS ON ENTRY, STAY AND RESIDENCE FOR PLHIV]</ref> | In Oman, there are certain restrictions related to HIV status.
