Oman Residency via Company Registration
Oman residency through company formation, investment and property purchase.
Oman residency through company registration is one of the common routes for international applicants. By establishing a company in Oman (Mainland or free zone), directors and shareholders can obtain a two-year residence visa.
Key requirements include minimum investment, submission of ID documents and business competence verification. Residency via company provides work rights for the director and the ability to sponsor family members.
Direct investment in approved projects or property purchase above a certain value are alternative paths for Oman residency. Property investment from OMR 50,000 upwards allows temporary residence.
Oman offers lower costs than the UAE and living in Muscat or Salalah is suitable for families. The healthcare and education systems are at a good level.
