Oman Launches 10-Year Golden Visa to Attract Global Investors and Drive Long-Term Growth

On August 31, 2025, the Sultanate of Oman officially introduced its long-awaited Golden Visa program, a landmark initiative designed to strengthen the country’s position as a global hub for investment, innovation, and opportunity. More than just a residency scheme, the Golden Visa aligns with Oman Vision 2040—the nation’s long-term strategy to diversify its economy, embrace digital transformation, and foster sustainable development.

A 10-Year Pathway to Residency and Growth

The Oman Golden Visa offers a renewable 10-year residency permit, enabling investors and their families to live, work, and prosper in the country without requiring a local sponsor. Unlike conventional residency options, this forward-looking program opens the door for global investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals to actively contribute to Oman’s growth story.

The initiative is designed to support key sectors such as tourism, real estate, energy, and technology, encouraging foreign capital inflows while fueling job creation and sectoral innovation.

Exclusive Benefits for Visa Holders

Golden Visa residents enjoy a range of privileges that make living and investing in Oman seamless:

• Residency rights extended to immediate family members, with no restrictions on age or number.
• Streamlined renewal process every 10 years.
• Dedicated fast-track lanes at airports and border crossings.
• Permission to employ up to three domestic workers.
• Ability to sponsor friends and relatives for temporary visits.
• Ownership rights for residential, commercial, or industrial properties outside Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs), with full transferability.
