Why professionals from your country look at Oman

Oman is not a replacement for home; it is an extra option. For professionals from your country, it can offer an own company with full foreign ownership in most activities, a residency route tied to that company, no personal income tax today and a time zone that bridges Asia and Europe.

Getting here from your country

  • Muscat is served by Oman Air, SalamAir and many international carriers, with direct and one-stop routes across Asia, Europe and Africa.
