Sultanate of Oman · Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Investment Promotion
A ten-year, renewable residency for investors who choose Oman — launched 31 August 2025 in support of Oman Vision 2040's diversified, sustainable economy.
Overview
Oman's Golden Residency was introduced by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion to strengthen the Sultanate's standing as a secure destination for foreign capital, and to draw in the global talent behind it. It sits within Oman Vision 2040's push toward a diversified, competitive, sustainable economy.
Qualifying investors are granted residency for ten years, renewable, against a minimum total commitment of OMR 200,000. That commitment can sit entirely in one route, or be built by combining several — real estate, a company, government bonds, listed securities, a fixed deposit, or Omani employment — whichever fits how the investor already holds capital.
Muscat Auditing and Accounting Services advises investors and companies through eligibility, documentation, and audited financials at every stage of the application.

Privileges · 10-year category
Beyond the residency itself, holders receive a set of practical rights designed to make Oman a genuine base, not just a filing address.
First-degree family members may reside alongside the investor with no cap on number or age.
Own one additional property beyond the Integrated Tourism Complexes, for residential, commercial, or industrial use — and transfer that right on if needed.
Use the lanes reserved for Omani nationals at airports and land crossings.
Employ up to three domestic workers without needing a sponsor to issue their permits.
Sponsor visit visas for extended family, independent of the standard visitor process.
Six approved routes
Each route carries its own conditions and paperwork. Select an instrument to see what qualifies, and what your file will need — Muscat Audit prepares the audited figures and certificates behind each one.
Foreign companies registered in Oman may nominate a partner or employee for the Golden Residency, provided company capital meets or exceeds the required threshold for that route — and may nominate additional individuals where capital runs to further multiples of the minimum.

We assess which route — or combination of routes — fits your existing holdings, then prepare the audited financials, affidavits, and certificates the Ministry requires.
