Dear JimmY!
You didn't mention the type of visa, the company is going to send you. Is it an xpress visa (Which generally comes in 2 weeks time to call out the employee and then converted into employement visa). Elsewise, if its gonna be an employement visa, it takes around 1 month generally. In both of the cases, the 2 months time creates a real concern. You should be intouch with your consulting agency for obtaining the status and take the passport back. Secondly, you can establish a direct contact with the HR of the employer company and speak to them, pertaining to the subject.

Would you mind posting the name of the company from which you have recieve the offer ?

This is a real concern. I do understand there won't be any deadline, however the regular follow up will help.  Yes, employement visa takes time, however not more than 2 months.

Hi Sayed,
It could take about 2 to 3 weeks. Can be even earlier. It all depends on how compliant your potential employer is to the Omanisation regulations.  Do not resign from your current job unless you have confirmation that your visa is ready.
It is advisable that you do your groundwork on the company you are going to join as job security is low in Oman these days and terminations are rampant.

Good Luck.

The work visa may take 10 days to 2 months, depending upon the timely processes carried out by your employer

Hi,,

I have sent signed offer letter through email on 01/04/2015 for a company located at Muscat. I am waiting for Visa from past 35 days. I am in touch with HR through Whatsapp. I want to know how much time it takes for sending employment Visa. Any particular time limit is there. I have been asking about the status frequently with HR, they said they haven't got Visa clearance and its the decision of the ministry.. Kindly guide me.Thanks

HI cooldharma,

Since this is one of the most discussed topics in this forum, if only you will read through the numerous posts and discussions you will find answers to your queries.

Since there is nothing new to be added, the responses there would well apply to you just as it would for others in a similar situation.

cooldharma

Thanks sumitran sir for the quick response,

As per earlier posts, it takes 10 days to 2 months for getting Visa. The earlier posts are nearly one yr old. I hope the Visa rules didnt change. and hope I will receive Visa in another 25 days.

Hi cooldharma,

From your response, it is quite obvious that you have not read through the posts for details.

There are a few who are waiting for their visas for close to a year now ... and still waiting.

Many factors come into play before an employment visa can be issued.

Does your company have the required labour clearance for your job position ?

If they do, then yes, you will get your employment visa very soon - not more than a working week maximum.

If they don't, no one, including your company officials can say how long it would take to get the clearance.

Thanks sir, Thank u very much for the clear information.

Your answer took me out of lifetime tensions which I had been facing from last 3-4 months.

Thanks again.

Hi waseem ahamed,

The response given by the company HR is indeed the most accurate answer.

No one here can give you any better reply.

I am changing employer with a NOC from private to Govt sector.My dependent wife resides with me.When I exit Oman , will she able to get family joining visa immediately or can she continue to reside with old
sponsorship ? Or will there be a waiting time if new sponsor applies for  family residence visa.Does she need to undergo medicals again?. I am also trying a local release. Why are companies refusing local release.

cooldharma

Hi,
I havent got my visa till now.. waiting for almost 9 months.. i am loosing hopes.  My humble advice to the guys who r waiting for the visa is.. dont make any committments depending on visa,  be on lighter side.

After effectively Applying and paying for your Visa, a duplicate of the Visa ... In the event that you don't have a residency in GCC, at that point you'll need to apply for the Dubai/Oman Joint ... Is there any adjustment in the visitor visa for sailors, voyage send travelers?
