MUSCAT: Expat residents living in Oman must renew their residency visas 15 days before its expiry, according to an amended Residence Law, issued through a Royal Decree by His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik.
In a Royal Decree No 60/2021 issued last week, stated that “a foreigner must submit a request to renew his residence permits 15 days before the expiry, and it is permissible to refuse granting or renewing residence without giving reasons.”
According to the previous rule, every expatriate who is a resident in Oman must obtain or renew the residency visas within 30 days. However, this rule is now amended. “The second article stipulated the cancellation of everything that contradicts the attached amendments or contradicts their provisions,” the Royal Decree stated.
