Work Visa for Oman

The procedure for sponsoring a foreign worker to work in an Omani firm is primarily the responsibility of the employer, who must collect many documentation if the employee is to remain for a lengthy period of time. For entry into Oman with work visa, the employer must get an employment visa, a resident card, and a residence permit. All of these documents are applicable in Oman to employees between the ages of 21 and 60 who have accepted a job offer from an Omani company. The employer becomes the visa sponsor, and the Ministry of Manpower normally obtains the requisite visas and permits.
