| Keywords: Oman, Laws & Regulations, Citizenship, NaturalisationThis law is applicable to citizens of Oman employed in the private sector under a permanent work contract or working in one of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. It does not cover foreign workers, household workers, self-employed persons, and artisans.
