What is company formation in Oman?

Company formation in Oman is the process of establishing a business as a legal entity. This involves selecting a legal structure, obtaining MOCIIP (Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion) licensing, registering with MOCIIP, and fulfilling ongoing compliance requirements.

How long does company formation take in Oman?

The company formation process in Oman typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the type of company, MOCIIP license requirements, and completeness of documentation. TrustLink expedites this process with our expert services.

Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Oman?

Yes, Oman now allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors under MOCIIP regulations and Vision 2040 reforms. TrustLink can guide you through the process of establishing a fully foreign-owned company in Oman.

Oman's Golden Visa: Linking 5 & 10-Year Residency to Your Business Investment

For foreign investors building a presence in Oman, the Golden Visa offers something valuable: long-term residency tied to your investment, giving you and your family the stability to live, work, and grow in the Sultanate. With five- and ten-year options, it turns a business setup into a lasting foothold in the country.

At TrustLink, we help investors structure their business to qualify for the Golden Visa and navigate the residency process, so your company setup and your long-term residency work together as one plan.

What Is Oman's Golden Visa?

Oman's Golden Visa is a long-term residency programme that links residency to qualifying investment. Rather than a short-term permit tied to an employer, it offers extended, renewable residency based on your commitment to the Omani economy.

The programme comes in five-year and ten-year options, with the tier depending on the level of investment. It is designed to attract and retain investors who want a genuine, lasting presence in the country.

The Two Tiers

The Golden Visa offers two levels of residency, tied to different investment thresholds:

Tier	What It Offers
5-Year Residency	A renewable five-year permit for qualifying investors, offering long-term stability in Oman.
10-Year Residency	A renewable ten-year permit for higher levels of investment, giving the greatest long-term security.

Why It Matters

The Golden Visa brings advantages that go well beyond a standard visa:

⏳ Long-Term Stability

Five or ten years of renewable residency, far more security than a standard short-term visa.

🔗 Tied to Investment

Residency is linked to your investment rather than an employer, giving you independence.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Inclusion

Qualifying investors can typically sponsor family members alongside their own residency.

🏠 Live, Work & Invest

The right to reside in Oman and build your business on the ground, with access to services.

How to Qualify

The Golden Visa is tied to a qualifying investment. In practice, that means:

• Meet the investment threshold. Each tier is linked to a defined level of qualifying investment.

• Structure your business correctly. A properly established company is often the foundation of a qualifying investment.

• Prepare your documentation. The residency process requires supporting documents, which may need attestation and translation.

• Maintain your investment. Continued qualifying investment supports the renewal of your residency.

Combining Setup and Residency

For many investors, the most efficient approach is to plan the business setup and the Golden Visa together, rather than treating them as separate processes. A well-structured company can form the basis of a qualifying investment, streamlining the path to residency.

That coordinated approach saves time and avoids duplicated effort — turning your Oman company into both a business base and a route to long-term residency.
