Oman has issued a final call for visa overstayers to regularise their status under an amnesty scheme, with the extended grace period set to expire on December 31, 2025. The Royal Oman Police, in a recent social media announcement, emphasised that this extension is the last opportunity for individuals to rectify their legal standing without incurring penalties. The initiative, initially introduced to address visa violations, allows foreign nationals to either renew their residence permits, transfer employment within Oman, or leave the country permanently without facing fines. The Ministry of Labour has been tasked with verifying the status corrections for those seeking to renew or transfer their permits. For individuals opting to depart Oman permanently, all fines related to the termination of non-work-related visas will be waived. This move underscores Oman’s commitment to resolving visa irregularities while providing a structured pathway for compliance. The Royal Oman Police has urged all affected individuals to act promptly to avoid legal repercussions.
