Oman's new law on residence of expatriates
Article Abstract:
Oman enacted a new Law on Residence of Expatriates on May 1, 1995. The Law applies to most working foreigners in Oman. Expatriates, with certain exceptions such as heads of state and their families, include all residents without Omani nationality. Expatriates must register after entering the country. Important features of the new Law include the automatic right to secure residence for spouses and minor children and a ban on new working visas until two years after the cancellation of the previous visa. The Law's general goal is to enhance control of the expatriate labor force.
