Oman offers residency to foreign investors who buy qualifying property. Nigerian citizens can apply and there is no published rule that excludes them.
Applicants pass background and health checks. A spouse and children can be included under the same permit.
The main route is property within designated Integrated Tourism Complexes. As of June 2026 a purchase of at least 250,000 Omani rials supports a five year renewable residency, and a purchase of at least 500,000 Omani rials supports a ten year residency.
Recent amendments to the residence rules let qualifying property owners hold residency without a local sponsor. Confirm the current figure and eligible developments with the official authority.
Permits are issued for five or ten years depending on the amount invested, and are renewable while the qualifying conditions continue to be met. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
Beyond the property purchase, applicants meet government and processing fees and the usual transaction costs. Oman currently levies no annual property tax for individual owners, but confirm your position with the official authority and a licensed professional.
