Hi jolens22,

Absolutely not.

To be employed, you need to be on a proper employment visa and you should be working only for that sponsor.

Who ever said 'yes you can' needs to get their facts straight.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply. My question continues. There are 2 sets of medicals to undergo right!? One before I get my employment visa, and one more after I start working,  which is done by MOH!!?

Hi oldmonk,

Yes, there are 2 sets of medical tests to be done.

One prior to your coming to Oman and one after coming and before applying for the resident card.

Also, with every employment visa renewal there are blood tests to be done, once every 2 years.

oldmonk

Is that before obtaining the employment visa or after?!

oldmonk

Yes Sumitran. I got that. My question was considering that I am already in Oman, on a visit visa! Then do I still have to go 2 rounds!?

Sumitran

The answer to your query is yes.

For visit visa, medicals is not required.

For employment visa, medicals is required.

oldmonk

Okay Sumitran. Lemme explain. I have my contract in hand. Medicals at GCC gamca certified did not work for me. Hence I am planning on one more visit to Oman to get my medicals done there itself. So once I do my medicals there in Oman I will get my employment visa. However , after that before I get my labour card do I have to do the medicals again ?!
Now the second round has to be done by Oman right. Who are the authorised personnel there who do the medicals on behalf of the country!?

Sumitran

Yes, before you go for your resident card, after joining work, you have to do the medicals again in the Ministry of Health's Infectious Diseases Clinic / Health Centre located in Darsait.

Another latest news. And this person is vouching for it. He says that if you do your medicals and go to Oman within the next 3 months, then you don't have to repeat the medicals before the labour card!!!
Is that true!?
