The whole trip would be on one ticket on Oman Air. It's just the connection time would be 7 hours.

That's weird. The visa folk bill in OMR or any other sensible currency at sensible exchange rates: it's pretty straightforward. Offered me OMR20 or GBP40. They'll also take credit cards, debiting these in OMR in a fast, simple transaction.
No disappointment, the place is wonderful.
The visa desk refused a credit card, wanted cash only.

There's 2 visa desks - from memory the Travelex one takes plastic.

Before you meet the immigration officer your son faces the challenge of being allowed on the aircraft.

You say you know the passport should be valid for 6 months. It won't be. So getting a new passport would probably be a smart move.

You have plenty time, and some of the life of the old passport will be added to that of the new one (I think up to three months).


Any reassurances or promises you receive here matter not one jot.
