Main Pathways to Oman

1. Study in Oman

International students can apply for an Oman Student Visa to enroll in licensed educational or training institutions. This visa allows you to live in Oman legally for the duration of your academic program, usually sponsored by the educational institution.

Basic eligibility overview

  • The student visa is requested by a licensed institution on the student’s behalf and is linked to a confirmed admission.
  • It is normally valid for 1–2 years from the date of entry and can be renewed until you complete your studies.
  • Students may receive multiple‑entry visas, allowing them to exit and re‑enter Oman during their course, and can get assistance with residence cards after arrival.

2. Work in Oman

Oman offers several work visa categories depending on the nature and duration of employment, making it a structured destination for foreign workers. Common options include Standard Work Visas for full‑time employees, Temporary Work Visas for short projects, and specialised visas for technical experts.

Basic eligibility overview

  • You need a confirmed job offer from an Omani employer, who usually sponsors and submits the work visa application.
  • Standard Work Visas are often issued for up to 2 years, while temporary or seasonal visas cover shorter periods like 6 months.
  • Eligibility criteria typically include matching qualifications, a clear employment contract, and the employer meeting local labour and quota regulations.

3. Long-Term Stay and Investor Residency

Oman’s Investor Residency Program (Golden Visa) offers long‑term residency in exchange for qualifying investments, aimed at attracting global investors and their families. This program provides 5‑year and 10‑year residency options with the possibility of renewal and later upgrade.
