"@type": "Answer",
"text": "An Oman Work Visa is a permit that allows foreign professionals to legally work and live in Oman under the sponsorship of an employer. Once a job offer is confirmed, the employer applies for a work permit and submits the required documents to the Ministry of Labour. After approval, the employee can travel to Oman and complete residency formalities. The visa is usually valid for 1–2 years and can be renewed if the job continues."
