Muscat: To enhance convenience for road users and in response to their suggestions, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) has clarified regulations governing vehicle window tinting through a public advisory, reaffirming the permitted tint limits while ensuring compliance with road safety requirements.
According to the advisory, vehicle windows may be tinted, with the exception of the front windshield, which is not permitted to be tinted. The maximum allowable tint level for the remaining vehicle windows is 50 per cent.
The ROP also stated that vehicles fitted with factory-installed tinted side windows are permitted, provided the glass maintains a minimum light transmission of 30 per cent.
In addition, the advisory confirmed that motorists are allowed to use matte (non-gloss) vehicle wraps or paint finishes, provided they retain some degree of shine or reflective appearance.
