It is regulated by the government's investment authority and administered through licensed advisers such as Mirabello Consultancy. Minimum investment starts from $520,000.

The Oman Golden Residency is a ten-year, renewable residence permit launched under Oman's 2025 investment-residency framework, one of the faster routes in the Gulf. The outcome is a residence permit, not citizenship: Oman does not offer citizenship by investment, and naturalisation is a separate, discretionary matter [].
Under the current framework the minimum is a unified OMR 200,000 (about USD 520,000) across the qualifying routes, real-estate purchase, company investment, listed equities, government bonds, a fixed bank deposit, or employment creation [ against the official portal]. Older descriptions that quote separate OMR 250,000 or OMR 500,000 tiers reflect an earlier structure and should be treated as historical unless the official portal still publishes them. A five-year option has also featured in earlier materials; confirm the current tiers directly.
