New decisions issued by the Supreme Committee include the Republic of Singapore, the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Republic of Tunisia, the State of Libya, the Republic of Argentina, the Republic of Colombia and Brunei Darussalam, and those coming from any other country if they pass through any of these countries in under 14 days of requesting entry into Oman.
