Oman’s Royal Police have urged visa violators to take advantage of an amnesty scheme that allows them to regularize their status, settle their fines, and fulfill their financial obligations.
The country’s Ministry of Labour recently issued a circular announcing the extension of the program’s grace period until December 31, 2025. In a notice on its social media channels, the Royal Oman Police clarified that this extension is final.

The police force has detailed the terms of the scheme as follows:
• Foreign nationals wishing to regularize their status by renewing their residence permits or transferring their employment within the Sultanate of Oman shall be exempted from all fines resulting from the expiry of their entry or residence permits (for holders of work residence permits), provided that the Ministry of Labour verifies their status correction.
• Foreign nationals wishing to leave the Sultanate of Oman permanently shall be exempted from all fines resulting from the termination of all types of non-work-related visas.
