Muscat: The Russian authorities have denied entry to a number of Omanis due to “conflicting statements about the motive of their visits,” reported Shabiba.
“The border customs officials have delayed others citizens for hours pending investigation”, said the Omani embassy in Moscow.
In a statement on its official twitter account, it urged Omanis planning to travel to Russia to ensure their reasons comply with the nature of the visas they had obtained from the Russian Embassy in Muscat to avert any inconvenience.
