Minimum salary needed to bring expat families slashed

Oman has reduced the minimum salary requirement for expat workers to bring family with them. Confirming this, a senior official of the Royal Oman Police (ROP), said the salary ceiling for family visas has been reduced by more than 50%.

“Now expats earning over OMR150 can bring their family in Oman,” an official said. Previously, expatriates needed to earn OMR350 a month to obtain visas for family members. Now expatriates only need to earn OMR150 and above per month to qualify for a dependent visa.
