Residency Routes for Property Buyers

Oman links residency to property in three ways. Which one applies to you depends on whether your AIDA unit is still off-plan, or completed and registered.

What This Means for AIDA Buyers

Before Handover

AIDA units are sold off-plan, so Golden Residency is not available yet. You can apply for the renewable 6–12-month property visa.

After Handover

Once the unit is completed and the title deed is issued, a unit priced at OMR 200,000 or more may qualify for Golden Residency.

Below OMR 200,000

Owners of a registered unit can apply for Property Owner Residency.

Rules Can Change

Residency rules can change. Eligibility is confirmed by the authorities when you apply; the developer's team supports the application.

Applying for Golden Residency After Handover

Handover and Title Deed

Take handover of the completed unit and receive the title deed.

Gather Documents

Passport copies, the title deed and any other documents the authorities ask for.

Submit Application

Apply through the official investor residency channel. The developer's team supports the application.

Checks

The authorities review the application and confirm eligibility.

Residency Issued

Receive your residency approval and ID card.

Processing times vary. Before handover, the property visa is the route to use.
