What is OK to Board (OTB) and why is it needed?

Due to an expansion in fake visas to Oman, many Indian passengers were deported back in the past. In order to control the fake visa issuance and any fraudulent activities; airlines and sponsors double check the Oman Visa and Air tickets before departure and only after checking the visa authenticity, airlines update visa message in the respective PNR.

The Airline verifies the Oman Visa and only then updates an Ok to Board message against the PNR. Airlines generally will take at least 24-48 working hours to update PNR after issuance of the Oman VISA.

Your airline mandates you to update OTB message in the PNR primarily to confirm the legitimacy of your Oman Visa as well as other relevant travel documents, thereby eliminating the chances of travellers making entry to the country with a forged visa and subsequently getting deported by the Oman immigration.
