For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A visa is required in advance: a traveller from Dubai without residency in a GCC country must apply for the Dubai/Oman Joint Visa through one of Oman's embassy offices or through tourist travel agencies, and can enter through the airport or through the Hatta border; the FAQ states that the visa duration has to be valid for at least 21 days pre-entry to Oman. The joint visa is free provided the traveller comes to Oman directly from Dubai, and it is obtained by paper application, not online. The official source does not provide a nationality list for this visa.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

The official source does not state whether a stay can be extended or changed.
