The recent interception of individuals attempting to enter Oman illegally underscores the importance of border security and the need for vigilance in controlling immigration flows. This situation presents both opportunities and risks: while enhanced security measures may attract foreign investment by stabilizing the environment, they could also deter potential tourists or expatriates, impacting sectors reliant on international talent.
