Applicants must make a qualifying investment of at least OMR 250,000 via one of the following routes:\n\n**Establish and operate a company**\n- Own a stake in a company that has been active for at least one year, where your share of total assets is valued at OMR 200,000 or more.\n\n**Real estate in Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs)**\n- Purchase residential, commercial, or tourism units within ITCs with a valid title deed. If held through a company, provide a certified final balance sheet.\n\n**Government development bonds**\n- Hold OMR 250,000 or more in government development bonds with a minimum remaining maturity of two years.\n\n**Listed equities**\n- Invest in shares listed on the local exchange with a current market value of at least OMR 250,000.\n\n**Fixed bank deposit**\n- Place a time deposit of OMR 250,000 or more with an Omani bank for a minimum term of five years.\n\n**Employer of Omani nationals**\n- Own a company that employs 50 or more Omani citizens and maintains paid-in capital above OMR 250,000.\n\n**Foreign investment company registration**\n- Register a company under Oman’s foreign investment regime. This route allows the nomination of partners or senior executives as residency beneficiaries.\n\nAll permits are renewable upon expiration, provided the qualifying investment is maintained and conditions continue to be met.","benefits":"- Low taxes\n- Mild climate\n- High safety\n- English widely spoken\n- Short processing time\n- Enhanced access to large economies","citizenship_timeline":"The Oman Investor Residency Program does not provide a pathway to Omani citizenship. Oman, like most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, maintains highly restrictive naturalization policies and generally does not grant citizenship to foreign investors or residents.\n\nThe investor residency permit, which is valid for 10 years, remains strictly a residence permit that must be renewed upon expiration, provided the qualifying investment is maintained.\n\nBrowse 195 countries’ paths to citizenship in the hyper-detailed [IMI Citizenship Catalog](https://www.imidaily.com/citizenship-catalog/).","legal_basis":"Applications for this program may be directed to [Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Investment Promotion](https://investoman.om/investor-residency).\n\nLegislation upon which this program is based Ministerial Decision No. 209/2022,"}},"experts_ordering":"Order rotates daily so every listed professional takes turns at the top.
