Buying in Oman, from reservation to keys

Foreigners buy freehold in Oman inside the Integrated Tourism Complexes, and the purchase can bring residence.

  1. 1

    Choose an ITC

    Freehold for foreign buyers sits inside licensed Integrated Tourism Complexes such as Al Mouj, Muscat Bay and AIDA. We confirm the project’s licence first.

  2. 2

    Reserve and sign

    A reservation holds the unit, and the developer’s sale agreement sets the payment plan. Your own lawyer reviews it.

  3. 3

    Pay to the plan

    Off-plan, payments follow the developer’s schedule as the complex is built.

  4. 4

    Register the title

    Title is registered with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, with a registration fee of 3% of the price.

  5. 5

    Apply for residence

    An ITC home brings a renewable residence card. An investment of OMR 200,000 or more can qualify for the ten-year Golden Residency.

  6. 6

    Let it, or live in it

    There is no personal income tax on rent today; Oman has announced a 5% tax on high personal incomes from 2028.

Does buying property in Oman give you residency?

Yes. A purchase in an Integrated Tourism Complex brings a residence visa, and since September 2025 the Golden Residency gives a ten-year card for larger investments.

  • Residence through an ITC purchase

    A renewable residence visa for the owner and immediate family.

  • 10-year Golden Residency

    For an investment of OMR 200,000 or more, including completed ITC property with a title deed. It replaced the OMR 250,000 and 500,000 tiers in 2025.

Why property investors choose Oman.

  1. 01

    Between the Gulf, Asia and Africa

    Oman sits on the shipping routes linking the Gulf, Asia and East Africa, and Muscat is a short flight from Dubai. Trade and logistics give the economy a base beyond oil.

  2. 02

    Diversification under Vision 2040

    Vision 2040 sets out Oman’s plan to reduce its dependence on oil and grow tourism, logistics and other sectors. Property in the Integrated Tourism Complexes sits squarely within that strategy.

  3. 03

    Policy that welcomes foreign capital

    Freehold ownership in designated zones, investor residency linked to property value and economic zones such as Duqm all point the same way. Oman wants foreign investment, and its rules reflect that.

Buying property in Oman: questions.

Can foreigners own freehold property in Oman?

Yes, in Integrated Tourism Complexes, where freehold title is registered in the buyer’s name and can be inherited.
