Oman Employment Guide

Oman, located on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, has a population of around 4.6 million. Its economy relies on oil, gas, logistics, fisheries, and growing tourism. Employment is regulated by the Omani Labor Law, which outlines working hours (45 per week), paid leave, termination rules, and mandatory end-of-service benefits. Employers are required to comply with Omanization policies, prioritizing the hiring of Omani nationals. Expatriates need work permits sponsored by their employer, and health insurance coverage is mandatory.
