Oman Investor Residency: 10-year Golden Residency from OMR 200,000 for a company, property, bonds or a deposit

The minimum investment for the 10-year Golden Residency is OMR 200,000 (about USD 520,000): this is stated by MoCIIP in its announcement of 13 September 2025 and by Invest Oman in its launch announcement of 1 September 2025. The previous edition of the rules, 2021 (Omani Foreign Ministry, 29.09.2021), required more: OMR 500,000 in shares or bonds or 50 jobs for 10 years, and assets from OMR 250,000 for 5 years. Your route's requirements are checked on the portal before investing.

Registering a company in Oman, completed property in an Integrated Tourism Complex, Government Development Bonds, Muscat Stock Exchange shares, a fixed-term deposit with a licensed bank for at least 5 years, a company with 50 or more Omani employees, or a nomination by a company regulated under the Foreign Capital Investment Law.

No. Under the Oman Investor Guide foreigners and foreign companies may own property only in approved Integrated Tourism Complexes; elsewhere long leases of up to 50 years are available. An investor-residence holder may additionally buy one home outside tourism complexes.

There was one in the previous edition of the rules, 2021 (Omani Foreign Ministry, 29.09.2021): 5 years for assets from OMR 250,000, and 10 years for OMR 500,000 in shares or bonds or for 50 jobs. The current Golden Residency format (MoCIIP, 13.09.2025) and the omanresidence.gov.om portal describe a 10-year residence from OMR 200,000. The MoCIIP home page still mentions '5- or 10-year renewable permits', so if you need a 5-year category specifically, its availability is confirmed on the portal.

The public programme rules set no minimum number of days in the country; the condition of the status is to keep the investment. Tax residence is a separate question: under the personal income tax law a resident is anyone spending more than 183 days a year in Oman, and for Indian residents the days-in-India test applies in parallel.

There is no personal income tax in Oman today; corporate tax is 15%. Royal Decree 56/2025 introduces a 5% income tax on income above OMR 42,000 a year for tax residents (more than 183 days) and on Omani-source income of non-residents; the tax applies from 1 January 2028 (Art. 4 of the decree). The effect on your family is checked before filing.

The resident-card fees for the applicant and family members are confirmed on omanresidence.gov.om on the filing date — the ministry publishes no open tariff, and we do not quote figures without a primary source. No statutory processing time is published either, so we do not promise 'two weeks'.

Spouse and children with no age limit, up to 3 domestic workers; in MoCIIP's wording — the family without restrictions on age or number. Inclusion of parents is confirmed on the portal for the specific case.

No. The programme states plainly that investors gain no entitlement to claim Omani citizenship outside the general procedure. We do not sell an 'Omani passport for investment'.

Yes: per the ministry's publications an investor-residence holder conducts economic activity without a local sponsor or a work visa. Companies with 100% foreign ownership are registered online through the Oman Business Platform.

The basis of residence disappears. You must either replace the investment with another under the programme rules or move to another status before the card is cancelled. We plan this in advance, especially with a deposit placed for at least 5 years.

Children — yes, with no age limit: this is stated directly in Invest Oman and MoCIIP publications. For parents the public rules speak of 'family without restrictions on age or number' and of immediate family without detail, so inclusion of parents is confirmed on the portal for the specific case and is not promised in advance.

It does not: the threshold applies to the investor, and the family comes under his or her sponsorship. Only the resident-card fees for each family member grow — their amount is confirmed on the portal on the filing date. No separate income needs to be proven for the spouse or children.

Yes. If the application is refused through the fault of our team or an error in building the case, we refund the company's service fee less a minimal retention for costs actually incurred. Refund terms, the payment schedule and the rules on retaining service costs are fixed in the contract before work begins. Before we start, we check your documents and risk history free of charge and tell you about any risks in advance.
