Access is triggered by assignment as a diplomat to work at one's country's accredited mission in Oman (together with family members), or by employment at an accredited United Nations office in Oman; the page's special conditions require a diplomatic, special or service passport. The same official page's service description is wider: it covers diplomats assigned to accredited missions in Oman and their families, and employees of diplomatic missions, international organisations and accredited United Nations offices in Oman holding diplomatic, special, service, ordinary or United Nations passports. The official page does not reconcile these two statements.
