Omanet helps you visit, move to and do business in Oman

Omanet brings the practical things together in one place: places to stay, cars to rent, plain-language guides on visas and residency, and a team you can ask when the official process is unclear.

How Omanet helps

Entering Oman, staying long term and setting up a business each involve different rules and different authorities. Our guides explain them in plain language, using official sources, and show the date they were last checked.

When you want more than a guide, you can send a question and our team replies on WhatsApp. For visas, residency and company setup we can also prepare the documents and follow the application with you.

For places to stay, car rentals and local businesses, owners list their own services and you contact them directly. Omanet is a Muscat-based directory and advertising platform, so the booking or the service is arranged between you and the host or provider.

The omanet.om address

omanet.omwas formerly the portal of Oman's Ministry of Information. Over the years it collected links from sites such as Wikipedia, the BBC and NASA, which is why many people already know the address as a place to read about Oman.

Omanet today is a new service on that address, built around the practical questions people have when they visit, move or start a business. It is not a government website.
