Hi reza.abedi14,

The forum is full of extremely useful information for newbies like yourself.

So I would urge you to please read through the various topics of discussions to get an excellent idea of what it is to live as an expatriate in Oman.

A new expatriate employee has to wait for 3-months before he is eligible for applying for the family joining visa.

You have to wait for 3 months, from then you can apply family visa. Processing time depends on your PRO

Hi Mohammed Azheruddin Patel,

How do you expect someone from the forum to answer this question ?!?

This is something which only the employer and no one else can answer.

Hi Reza
Do you have an Oman visit visa? With UAE Visit visa you will not get an entry into Oman and most likely will get refused at the UAE airport.
The visa on arrival in Oman is for UAE residents .i.e. with a valid UAE resident visa. This visa is valid for 28 days.

Thanks dear Anand,
Presently I don't have the Oman visa. I will be applying the visit visa soon. Do u mean they won't allow me to enter the Oman from UAE  Though I carry the Oman visit visa? Do I need to go back to home country to enter Oman with visit visa?

Hi Reza,
Family visa can be processed when you have resident card, if you are coming on visit visa it can take you 15 days to a month to get your resident card, once you have resident card n family documents are ready its just matter of a day or two, you ll not have to wait for 3 months though
