Oman today_ The Oman Family Residence Visa is designed for individuals who wish to join their family members residing in the Sultanate of Oman. This visa is issued to the spouses and children under the age of 21 of foreign residents, offering an opportunity to live alongside their loved ones. The visa is valid for two years from the date of entry into the country or the date of stamping in the passport. Applicants should note that this visa must be utilized within six months from the date of issuance; otherwise, its validity will lapse.
The Royal Oman Police has revised its regulations, significantly reducing the minimum salary requirement for foreign residents to qualify for this visa. Under the new law, expatriates earning a minimum monthly salary of 150 Omani Rials are eligible to apply for a family residence visa for their loved ones. This amendment has made it easier for more expatriates to bring their families to Oman and live together.
The fee for issuing this visa is 30 Omani Rials per person, which must be paid when submitting the application. This new facilitation reflects Oman’s commitment to creating more accommodating conditions for expatriates and their families, providing them with a better opportunity to build a fulfilling life in the country.
