Muscat – Effective immediately, all such requests must be submitted electronically through the ‘Sahl’ system.

This change is part of the Authority’s broader initiative to enhance digital transformation and streamline its services. By transitioning to the ‘Sahl’ system, the Environment Authority aims to simplify procedures and improve efficiency for all government agencies, private sector institutions, and individuals seeking environmental permits.

The Directorate General of Environmental Affairs will manage all applications electronically ; however, the Directorate of Environment in Dhofar Governorate and other environmental departments across the governorates will continue to process paper applications until their own electronic systems are fully operational.
