How long does it take to get an Oman work visa?

It's unusual for it to take so long - usually it only takes 5 days or at most 10 days to come through. It can take longer if the hiring company doesn't have the required/correct documentation. However, a long delay isn't a good sign - are you sure that the company is legitimate?

dear , idid send my papers to a company in dubaito work with baker hughes company in oman ,,ok , this company as sub contractor ,,but up to now i did not get my permit of work ,,since a month ?how long it takes to be ready?

Thanks Meagan. But I think the condition for two week or a month is in the rare cases? Normally when everything is ready or if its a big company what you think do they have a chance to get approval in short time?? Is there a possible way to check visa status with having application number??

Hi there,

Unfortunately it can be quite difficult to estimate the amount of time a visa application takes because it depends on a number of different things. It can be anywhere from a few days, to a week or two, to a month. To get an overview of the process of an employment visa application please have a look at our Visas for Oman page.

Best of luck.

What if my medical certificate is expired do I have a chance to get an employment visa or do I need to take another medical?

Hi there,

As far as I am aware you would need to take another medical as they require up-to-date information.

Hi, Like UAE, do you need to undergo medical examination in the local government hospital on arrival?

Hii meagan, I have submitted all my necessary documets on 04th feb 2017 to agency and same has been forwarded to my new company which is locating in oman. Could u tell me how many days will it take to get employment visa out for the indian passport.

Hi there,

You posted this a few days ago. Have you received your visa yet?

As stated above, it should take only five to ten days unless something is wrong with the hiring company's documentation.
