Frequently Asked Questions
Hiring Workers for Oman — Common Employer Questions
What is Omanisation and how does it affect our hiring of foreign workers?
Omanisation (Tanfeedh) is Oman's nationalization policy requiring private sector companies to employ a minimum percentage of Omani nationals depending on their industry and company size. Foreign worker hiring is permitted within the remaining quota. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) issues work permits for foreign workers against your approved quota. AK International manages the MOM work permit coordination as part of the deployment process.
How long does deployment from India to Oman take?
Deployment to Muscat takes 18 working days. Sohar takes 20 days and Salalah 21 days. The timeline covers sourcing and trade testing (Days 1–8), GAMCA medical clearance (Days 6–16), MOM work permit and visa processing (Days 12–19), and worker travel to site (Days 18–21).
What sectors have the highest demand for manpower in Oman?
Manufacturing in the Sohar Industrial Port and Salalah Free Zone, logistics and port operations (Muscat, Sohar), facility management for Muscat commercial and government contracts, hospitality (Salalah tourism resorts and Muscat hotels), and warehouse operations for FMCG distributors across Muscat.
Do foreign workers need an ROP driving licence to drive in Oman?
Drivers from India can convert their Indian driving licence to an Oman ROP (Royal Oman Police) licence. The conversion process requires an eye test, a driving theory test, and fee payment — typically completed within 2–4 weeks of arrival. AK International pre-orients all driver candidates on the ROP conversion process before departure.
What are the visa cost obligations for employers in Oman?
Employers are responsible for visa fees, work permit fees, and return airfare at end of contract. Visa and permit costs typically run USD 850–1,350 per worker depending on the role category and city. AK International provides a full cost breakdown in every deployment proposal.
Can we deploy workers to both Muscat and Sohar from one demand letter?
Yes. Multi-city deployments to Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah are managed from a single demand letter. Workers are routed to their respective sites by our mobilisation team. Sohar and Salalah industrial deployments often run in parallel with Muscat batches to synchronise project go-live dates.
