Oman offers long term investor residency to foreign nationals who place a qualifying investment in the country. Vietnamese nationals can apply on the same basis as other foreign investors. Oman updated its programme in 2025, so this page sets out the current position.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Vietnamese nationals are eligible. The investor residency route is open to foreign investors and there is no reported nationality bar for Vietnamese citizens.
Applicants generally need a clean criminal record, valid travel documents and a qualifying investment held for the residency period. Confirm the live eligibility rules with the Royal Oman Police.
Oman relaunched its long term residency, often called Golden Residency, with several qualifying routes. These cover company formation, real estate, listed shares, bonds, bank deposits, job creation and investment under the foreign investment law.
Two main tiers exist. A mid tier grants renewable five year residency and a higher tier grants renewable ten year residency, with a lower entry point reported under the relaunched scheme. Confirm the current routes and tiers with the Royal Oman Police before committing any money.
Applications are handled online and initial review is commonly reported within a short window of working days, though full processing varies. Residency is renewable while the investment is maintained. Confirm current scheduling with the official authority.
