Common questions
What is the Oman investor (golden) residency?
A long-term residency for investors, entrepreneurs and some highly skilled professionals. Eligibility depends on the type and size of investment — we check the current conditions for your case.
What is the difference between a visa and residency?
A visa gives permission to enter Oman for a visit. Residency allows you to live in Oman long term. If you only plan to travel, you want a visa; if you plan to live, work or invest here, you want residency.
Which residency route should I choose?
It depends on why you are moving: investment, a job, a property purchase or joining family. Describe your situation and we recommend the route that fits.
Can my family join me?
Residency holders can usually sponsor close family members. The conditions depend on your residency type and income — we check them for your situation.
