Overview

Programme Overview

The Oman Business Residence Programme, operating via the centralized 2-Year Partner and Investor framework, serves as a premier institutional entryway for international entrepreneurs wishing to anchor their commercial footprint within the Sultanate of Oman. In alignment with its progressive economic diversification strategies under Vision 2040, Oman has transformed its regulatory landscape into a highly lucrative environment for foreign direct investment, featuring zero personal income tax, full capital repatriation, and absolute security. Administered cleanly through the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) alongside the Royal Oman Police (ROP), this specialized pathway completely bypasses traditional local sponsorship constraints. For clients of Burbridge Capital, the 2-Year Business Residence track delivers an agile, cost-effective corporate blueprint: an immediate mechanism to secure independent residency permits through active company incorporation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum investment threshold for the 2-Year Partner Visa?+
No. One of the most significant structural advantages of the 2-Year Partner Pathway is its accessibility for solo entrepreneurs. The massive thresholds of OMR 250,000 or OMR 500,000 apply exclusively to the premium multi-year Golden and Silver Visa schemes. For this standard 2-year operational track, there is completely zero separate minimum investment block required beyond the standard costs of company formation and licensing.
Can multiple shareholders use the same company to obtain residency?+
Yes. A single corporate entity registered in Oman can comfortably support residence permits for up to 4 individual partners or shareholders, provided that each individual is documented in the corporate bylaws and holds a minimum equity stake of 25% within the company structure.
Are there corporate tax implications for my business structure in Oman?+
While personal income, dividends, and foreign-sourced consulting draws remain entirely subject to a 0% tax framework, Oman enforces a standard corporate tax rate of 15% on taxable business profits generated by local entities. However, small businesses and startups with low annual turnover can often qualify for specialized, reduced corporate tax rates ranging from 0% to 3%.
