The basic premise in Oman until recently was that to obtain an
ID card and residency, one would have to get a job and visa. This
idea is very much prevalent among the GCC and Middle Eastern
nations and generally also applies to the family members of one who
is employed within the country. A spouse and children under the age
of adulthood are permitted to stay in the country without any other
to work, though in Oman, it used to be that from the age of 21, any
children would have to leave or find work.
A recent announcement from a senior police official has provided
us with information regarding how this has now changed, and what
the new requirements to avoid this are.
