(MUSCAT, OMAN) — The Indian Embassy in Muscat announced revised passport fees and consular charges that take effect on July 1, 2026, citing a Ministry of External Affairs gazette notification dated June 25, 2026.

The new schedule covers ordinary passport reissues, jumbo passports, replacements for lost or damaged passports, services for newborns and minors, Tatkal processing, and several other consular documents handled by the Indian Embassy in Muscat.

Among the headline changes, a 36-page ordinary passport reissue will cost OMR 53.750, while a 60-page jumbo passport reissue will cost OMR 72.600.

A replacement for a lost or damaged 36-page passport will cost OMR 100.700, and the corresponding 60-page service will cost OMR 119.500.

The embassy tied the revision to the external affairs ministry notification issued on June 25, 2026. The effective date is close behind it: July 1, 2026.

Fee changes also cover children’s passports. A fresh passport for a newborn up to 8 years old will cost OMR 37.300, while the reissue of a 36-page passport for a minor will cost OMR 40.600.

Applicants in the older teenage bracket fall under a separate line item. A 10-year validity passport for ages 15 to 18 will cost OMR 53.750.

Faster processing remains available at a higher price. A Tatkal reissue of a 36-page passport will cost OMR 100.700, and a Tatkal reissue of a 60-page passport will cost OMR 119.500.

The revised schedule extends beyond passport booklets. An Emergency Certificate will cost OMR 12.500, and an Identity Certificate will cost OMR 25.600.

Miscellaneous consular services have also been reset at a single stated total for a broad group of requests. That category, which includes PCC, GEP verification, Surrender Certificates, and other passport-related certificates, will cost OMR 21.800.

The embassy said the totals already include two separate add-on components: the Indian Community Welfare Fund fee of OMR 0.800 and the outsourced service provider fee of OMR 6.000. That means the published figures are composite amounts rather than base charges alone.

The bundled structure is visible across every category listed in the announcement. Whether the service involves an ordinary reissue, a lost passport replacement, a newborn passport, or one of the miscellaneous consular certificates, the figures released by the mission are the final totals presented to applicants.

That leaves a short window for anyone preparing an application at the end of June. Submissions made from July 1, 2026 onward will fall under the revised schedule announced by the embassy in Muscat.

The differences between categories are wide. A standard 36-page ordinary passport reissue sits at OMR 53.750, but the fee nearly doubles to OMR 100.700 for either a lost or damaged 36-page passport or a Tatkal reissue of a 36-page passport.

The same pattern appears in the larger booklet category. A regular 60-page jumbo passport reissue is priced at OMR 72.600, while both a lost or damaged 60-page passport and a Tatkal reissue of a 60-page passport are set at OMR 119.500.

Children’s services remain lower than adult replacement and Tatkal rates, though they are not uniform. The fee for a fresh passport for a newborn up to 8 years old is OMR 37.300, while a 36-page passport reissue for a minor rises to OMR 40.600, and a 10-year validity passport for ages 15 to 18 reaches OMR 53.750.

The revised charges also show how the consular menu stretches beyond travel documents alone. Police clearance certificates, GEP verification, surrender documents, and other passport-related certificates now sit under the OMR 21.800 miscellaneous category, placing paperwork often needed for immigration, travel, and status-related formalities inside the same updated fee framework.

Emergency and identity papers remain among the lower-priced services in the schedule, though they carry the same built-in fee structure. The Emergency Certificate at OMR 12.500 is the smallest published total in the announcement, followed by the Identity Certificate at OMR 25.600.

The Muscat mission did not release the figures as isolated passport prices. It presented them as complete payable amounts, with the Indian Community Welfare Fund and outsourced provider components folded in, a format that gives applicants a single published total for each service rather than separate line items at the payment stage.

That approach is likely to matter most at the counter, where applicants compare services that can look similar on paper but differ sharply in cost. An ordinary reissue, a Tatkal request, and a replacement for loss or damage each now carry distinct totals, even when they involve the same 36-page or 60-page passport format.

The announcement from the Indian Embassy in Muscat is narrowly focused, but it touches the documents most frequently requested by Indian nationals dealing with routine renewals, urgent reissues, child passports, and certificate-based consular work. From July 1, 2026, those services will all be billed at the revised rates set out under the June 25, 2026 gazette notification.
