Seven ways in, one of them property

The Golden Residency has seven investment pathways, each at OMR 200,000: property in Integrated Tourism Complexes, a company registered in Oman, Government Development Bonds, shares on the Muscat Stock Exchange, a fixed bank deposit for at least five years, a business employing 50 Omanis, or nomination by a company with capital of at least OMR 200,000. Investors may combine more than one tool to reach the amount.

The property rules

The unit must be fully constructed, residential, commercial or tourism, inside an Integrated Tourism Complex, and the title deed must be in the investor's name. If a company owns it, a final audited balance sheet is needed. The file includes the title deed, the sales contract and the developer's property ownership certificate.

Why it mattersTen years is long enough to plan schooling, a second home or a business around. Buying the right unit in the right complex is what turns a holiday home into that residency.

What comes with it

First-degree family with no age or number limit, the right to own one more property outside the complexes, citizen lanes at airports and border points, up to three domestic workers and visit visas for relatives. It is residency, not citizenship.

How to apply

Online at omanresidence.gov.om: upload the documents, track the application and speak with a relationship manager. The general documents are a passport copy, health insurance, a personal photograph, a certificate of no criminal record, and the residence card and visa copy if you have them.

Where to buy

Al Mouj Muscat, Yiti, AIDA and Muscat Hills are Integrated Tourism Complexes on our list. Our residency page shows each one, and we confirm the terms for your unit with the developer before you pay.
