The processing time for an Oman work visa can vary depending on the applicant’s nationality, the employer, and the type of work, but typically it takes:

Typical Timeline:

o Employer in Oman must first obtain a work permit (Labor Approval) from the Ministry of Manpower.

2. Visa stamping at Omani embassy/consulate: 1–2 weeks

o Once the work permit is approved, the employee applies for a visa at the Omani embassy in their home country.

Total Time:

• Ensure all documents (passport, educational certificates, medical tests, employer documents) are complete and attested.

• Work with your employer to submit the work permit application promptly.
