Oman Work Permit
Oman employment visas are applied for by the employer after obtaining a labour clearance, and the applicant supplies a supporting document set including medical and police-clearance material where requested.
Overview
An Omani employer obtains labour clearance from the Ministry of Labour and then applies for the employment visa through the Royal Oman Police visa system. The applicant provides passport, qualification and medical documents. After arrival, residence-card formalities are completed by the employer.
