Oman

Oman is a country that is heavily dependent on dwindling oil reserves. Due to this Oman has actively pursued a development plan that focuses on diversification, industrialization and privatization with the objective of reducing the oil sectors contribution to GDP to 9% by 2020.

Living and Working in Oman

Tourism and gas-based industries are key components of this diversification project. As a result international companies are increasingly looking at Oman as a place to pitch their services. When providing services in Oman they will either have to relocate their own staff or source international contractors.

Oman Contractor Management Companies

It is very difficult to start a company in Oman as a foreign owned enterprise and as such if these companies wish to relocate their staff or source international contractors they will require a locally based Contractor Management Company to provide a full employed local solution for their employees. This will entail Oman Iqama (Work Permits) and local Omani payroll.

As an individual, working in Oman can be a highly rewarding experience, an opportunity to experience living in the Middle East, high earning rates and paying zero income tax!
