Transit visa required in Muscat

Transit visa required in Muscat - Metro station with passengers on platform

I am a Canadian doing a visa run from Doha. I have a return trip booked on Qatar Airways, arriving in Muscat at 1415 with the return flight leaving Muscat at 1735. Am I able to proceed directly through to the transit area and remain airside?

In March 2018, the Omani government announced that applications for tourist visas, including express visas, can only be made online through http://evisa.rop.gov.om, and "will not be received at the visa service desks." Previously, visa on arrival could be obtained at either an airport or border post, through the e-visa system.
