Oman runs an investor residency programme through the Royal Oman Police together with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. The programme is not limited by nationality, so Chinese applicants may apply if they hold a qualifying investment.
Eligibility turns on the value and type of the investment rather than on where the applicant is from. Confirm the document list and background checks with the official authority.
Two main tiers are commonly cited. A property purchase of at least OMR 250,000 supports a five year renewable investor residency. A property purchase of at least OMR 500,000 supports a ten year renewable residency.
Other qualifying routes have been described, including fixed deposits, listed equities and company formation that employs Omani nationals. Confirm the current list and thresholds with the official authority before you commit.
The permits are issued for either five or ten years and can be renewed while the qualifying investment is kept and the conditions are met. A common feature is that there is no minimum physical presence requirement, which suits investors who travel.
Processing times move with caseload and document readiness, so confirm the present timeline with the official authority.
