Frequently asked questions
Where is the Al Bustan Integrated Tourism Complex?
On the coast at Al Bustan, in the Wilayat of Muscat.
Can I buy here now?
Not yet. Sales have not been announced. Message the Off-Plan Oman team on WhatsApp and we will tell you when the first homes are released.
Who can buy freehold in an Integrated Tourism Complex?
Under Oman's ITC ownership law, non-Omanis can own land or built units inside Integrated Tourism Complexes licensed by the government. Approval is given project by project, so confirm that the exact phase and unit can be registered in your name before paying.
Does buying here give me residency?
The ITC law allows a residence permit for a non-Omani owner. Ministerial Decision 58/2022 also links investor residence cards to property value. Check the current rules with the Royal Oman Police before you rely on residency.
Is every unit inside a freehold community freehold?
Not always. Ownership is approved for each project and phase. Ask for written confirmation of the title type for your unit, and the Off-Plan Oman team will check it with you.
Can foreigners buy outside the Integrated Tourism Complexes?
Outside ITCs, Ministerial Decision 357/2020 lets eligible residents buy a usufruct right, not freehold, in approved multi-storey buildings. It is a registered right to use the unit for a fixed term.
