MUSCAT : The TRA’s decision mandates that telecom licensees must ensure no more than 6% of their workforce in NOCs consists of non-Omani employees. Those who fall short of this target will be given an eight-month grace period to meet the new requirements. During this time, companies must submit a detailed plan to replace foreign workers with qualified Omanis, a plan which will be reviewed and approved by the TRA.

The new rule also requires telecom operators to submit monthly progress reports, ensuring compliance with Omanisation goals. This initiative is aimed at creating job opportunities for Omani professionals and enhancing their skills to take on pivotal roles in managing NOCs, which are essential to the country’s telecommunications infrastructure.
