Oman has officially launched its Golden Visa Programme for investors on August 31, 2025, under the Sultanate’s Vision 2040 strategy to diversify the economy and attract global capital.

The launch of the Golden Visa is a landmark reform that firmly positions Oman as a competitive alternative to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Unlike short-term residency permits, the Golden Visa provides security, stability, and intergenerational benefits for families.
For real estate investors, this means:
Rising demand for high-end villas and apartments in Muscat Bay, Al Mouj, Yiti, and Salalah.
More opportunities for capital appreciation as international buyers enter Oman’s freehold market.
Stronger rental yields in ITCs, with global tenants seeking long-term housing.
Oman’s Golden Visa is more than just a residency scheme — it’s a gateway to lifestyle, investment, and legacy building in one of the Middle East’s most authentic destinations.
