Jobs
Oman does not try to be Dubai, which is exactly why a lot of South Asian families prefer staying here long term. The pace is different. But the job market is also tightening. With Omanization policies shifting which professions are open to expats, figuring out what is actually legal right now is a headache. Oman WhatsApp groups function as a sort of informal legal clinic for exactly this reason. A mechanical engineer in Sohar asking if his specific visa category can still bring dependents. Someone in Ruwi trying to find a reliable PRO to handle labor clearances. You also see a lot of hyper-local networking here. Shared transport from Seeb. Kitchen staff vacancies in Salalah that need filling immediately. It is an older, more established community and the groups reflect that. Just be careful with anyone claiming they can bypass official ministry approvals for a fee. That never ends well for the worker.
