Employment Opportunities

*Information subject to changes amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Oman’s Ministry of manpower has provided many services for employees such as Human Recourses Management System and Salaries Sort and Classification.

In recent years, the Government of Oman has been pushing for Omanisation, limiting recruitment of expatriates. In January 2018, Oman had restricted hiring of expat workers in 87 job roles in sectors such as Information & Technology, Accounting & Finance, Marketing & Sales, Administration & Human Resources, Insurance, Information/Media Professions, Medical professions, Airport professions, Engineering professions and Technical Professions. The decision, initially imposed for six months, has since been extended for similar periods and is still in vogue.

There are about 800,000 Indians in Oman, of which about 666,000 are workers and professionals. Thousands of Indians are working as doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, teachers, lecturers, nurses, managers, among others.
