The Oman Golden Residency is a renewable, ten-year residence permit for investors and their families, relaunched by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion in September 2025. The outcome is a residence permit, not citizenship: Oman does not offer citizenship by investment.
A single minimum of OMR 200,000 (about USD 520,000) applies across the qualifying routes: property in an Integrated Tourism Complex, forming a company in Oman, Government Development Bonds, shares on the Muscat Stock Exchange, a fixed-term deposit with an Omani bank, or a business that employs at least 50 Omani citizens. The current framework replaced the earlier two-tier structure, so one threshold now buys the full ten years.
On the Mirabello Investment Migration Index Oman stands out for speed and a single, clear entry point among Gulf routes. Investors often compare it with the UAE Golden Visa and Saudi Premium Residency. Figures are checked against Oman's official residence portal and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion.

The minimum is OMR 200,000 (about USD 520,000), a single threshold that applies to every qualifying route: property in an Integrated Tourism Complex, a company in Oman, Government Development Bonds, Muscat Stock Exchange shares, a fixed-term bank deposit, or a business employing at least 50 Omani citizens. Government fees and costs such as property registration come on top.
It is a ten-year residence permit, renewable while you keep the qualifying investment. The earlier five-year tier no longer applies under the current framework.
The Omani authorities publish no processing time. In our practice a complete application typically takes about 3 to 6 weeks once the investment is in place, one of the faster timelines in the Gulf. Treat this as indicative, not a guarantee.
No minimum stay has been published. The main condition is that you keep the qualifying investment in place for the life of the permit.
Yes. The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion states that family members are included without restrictions on age or number. A Mirabello specialist confirms exactly which relatives your application can cover.
No. Oman does not offer citizenship by investment, and the Golden Residency is a residence permit. Naturalisation under the Omani Nationality Law (Royal Decree 17/2025) generally requires 15 years of continuous residence, Arabic language ability, a lawful source of income, good conduct and renunciation of other nationalities; it is discretionary and rarely granted.
Oman has no personal income tax today, but its first Personal Income Tax Law (Royal Decree 56/2025) comes into force on 1 January 2028. Do not assume Oman will stay tax-free; confirm your position with the Oman Tax Authority and take independent advice.
Estate planning
A residence permit in Oman does not change your nationality and adds no law you can elect under EU Regulation 650/2012 (Article 22). If you come to live in Oman, the law of Oman may govern your estate by default under Article 21, unless you elect the law of a nationality you already hold. The permit changes no tax position.
The law of Oman has forced heirship: part of the estate is reserved for close family and cannot be left freely by will.
See the Oman position in our succession matrix, or read which law governs your estate. General information, not legal advice.
