Change to residency renewal regulations announced in Oman

Muscat: Residency fees and fines will be paid electronically upon renewal of residency starting from Sunday November 4, according to the Royal Oman Police.

An official source at the Royal Oman Police said “starting from Sunday November 4, the Directorate General of Passport and Residence will be collecting the residency renewal fees and fines electronically when printing the residency renewal form.”

The applicant must access the Royal Oman Police website, fill in the renewal form and then pay the fees and any late fines electronically.

“When the form is printed, all documents related to the type of residency must be attached. The applicant or the holder must then go to a passport and residency department with the worker’s passport and renewal application form, in order for the residency to be stamped in the passport,” the ROP added.
