Buying property in Oman for residency: the simple guide
Two routes. In Sultan Haitham City and the Sorouh communities, pay 30% and apply for a renewable two-year residency, family included above OMR 50,000. In the tourism complexes, OMR 200,000 in a finished home opens the ten-year Golden Residency.
Route one: two years, renewable
In Sultan Haitham City and the Sorouh integrated residential neighbourhoods, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning grants a renewable two-year residency to non-Omani buyers who have paid at least 30% of the property value. Up to OMR 50,000 it is for the buyer alone; above OMR 50,000 it includes first-degree family.
Route two: ten years, Golden
The Golden Residency lasts ten years. Its property pathway needs a finished unit worth OMR 200,000 or more in an Integrated Tourism Complex, with the title deed in your name. Family members are included with no age or number limit, and there is no sponsor.
Which one fits you
Up to OMR 50,000: the two-year residency for yourself. From OMR 50,000 to 200,000: the two-year residency with your family, before handover. From OMR 200,000: either, and the Golden Residency with a finished home. In Kuwaiti dinars, OMR 50,000 is about KWD 40,000 and OMR 200,000 about KWD 160,000.
