Oman Golden Visa (2025): 10-Year Residency — Requirements, Benefits, How to Apply
Updated: September 1, 2025
What changed in 2025
Oman has launched a 10-year Golden Residency for investors and qualified talent. The new framework sets the minimum at 200,000 OMR (≈$520,000) and lists clear benefits for families and business activity. Holders get coverage for first-degree relatives, fast-track at airports, and the right to own one property outside integrated tourism complexes (ITC) in areas open to non-Omani ownership. The goal is to attract long-term capital and specialised talent aligned with Oman Vision 2040.
