Oman Golden Visa Investor Catalog

Your long-term base in Oman

A 10-year renewable residency for you and your family, earned through an investment you control. Since September 2025, Oman's Golden Residency opens from OMR 200,000 across seven routes, from an operating company to government bonds or a bank deposit. This catalog sets out who qualifies, what you get, and how to apply step by step.

Why Oman?

1. Strategic location. Coastline on the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, with the ports of Duqm, Sohar and Salalah outside the Strait of Hormuz, linking the Gulf, the Indian Ocean, East Africa and South Asia.
2. Stable, neutral foreign policy. Oman is known for its long-standing mediating role and good relations across the region.
3. Safety and quality of life. Oman ranks among the safest countries in international indices and offers a calm, family-friendly environment.
4. Strong, pegged currency. The Omani rial is pegged to the US dollar, which simplifies long-term planning.
5. A diversifying economy. Government policy is moving growth into logistics, manufacturing, energy, tourism and technology.
6. Modern infrastructure. Ports, free zones, industrial cities, highways and international schools and hospitals in the main cities.

Oman's economy and Vision 2040 priority sectors

Oman Vision 2040 is the national plan to reduce reliance on oil. Priority sectors for investors include:

• Renewable energy and green hydrogen: large solar, wind and hydrogen projects, especially around Duqm and Dhofar.
• Logistics and ports: Duqm, Sohar and Salalah, plus free zones built around them.
• Manufacturing and downstream industry: Madayn industrial cities such as Rusayl, Sohar and Nizwa, and Khazaen Economic City near Muscat.
• Tourism and real estate: Integrated Tourism Complexes and new urban projects such as Sultan Haitham City.
• Technology and digital services: startup and tech clusters such as Knowledge Oasis Muscat.

Tax note: Oman has no personal income tax today. A 5% tax on individual income above OMR 42,000 a year starts on 1 January 2028.

The 10-year Golden Visa at a glance

Some 2026 reports still cite the older 2021 thresholds (OMR 250,000 for 5 years, OMR 500,000 for 10 years). The portal's eligibility check confirms which applies to your route.

Investment pathways

1. Company establishment or shareholding. Your share in an Oman-registered company is worth OMR 200,000 or more, based on audited accounts. Example: a trading or manufacturing LLC in a free zone or Madayn industrial city, with OMR 200,000+ in equity.

2. ITC property. A completed residential, commercial or tourism unit with a title deed in an Integrated Tourism Complex. Example: a finished villa or apartment in an established complex in Muscat, valued at OMR 200,000+.

3. Government Development Bonds. OMR 200,000+ in bonds with at least two years to maturity. Example: a passive investor holding Omani government bonds through a local bank.

4. Muscat Stock Exchange shares. Listed shares worth OMR 200,000+ at market value. Example: a portfolio of listed Omani banks, logistics and industrial companies.

5. Fixed bank deposit. OMR 200,000+ fixed for five years in a licensed Omani bank, renewed in five-year blocks. Example: a family that wants residency without managing a business.

6. Job creation. A company employing 50 or more Omani nationals. Example: an established operating business expanding into Oman.

7. Foreign Capital Investment Law nomination. A foreign-invested company with OMR 200,000+ capital nominates partners or senior executives. Example: a regional company placing its managing director in Muscat.

Routes can be combined to reach the threshold. Factories and industrial projects normally qualify through the company route.
