What the Oman golden visa is

The Oman golden visa is the popular name for Golden Residency, a long-term residence route announced by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. Searches for "oman golden residency" usually mean this programme.

Minimum investment: OMR 200,000
Term: 10 years, renewable
Family: Family members included without age or number limits

Who it is for

It is aimed at foreign investors who want stable, long-term residence without depending on an employer. Because family members are covered, it suits households that want one status for everyone. Eligible asset types and conditions can change, so check the official notice before you decide.

The five-year option

Oman also issues investor residency cards for established investors. These are separate from Golden Residency and are tied to the size of the investment.

Five-year card threshold: OMR 250,000
Ten-year card threshold: OMR 500,000
Permit fees: OMR 250 for a 5-year permit, and OMR 500 for a 10-year permit

Where property fits

Whether a particular property purchase counts toward an investment threshold depends on the rules in force at the time. Property buyers who do not reach a threshold may still qualify for the sponsor-free owner permit, which has no minimum property value. See our guide to the property owner residence permit for details.
