Employment Visa requirements Oman

Hi Tina Gascon Montgomery,

Simply put, the deal that has been offered to you is ... illegal.

The one who has suggested the arrangement to you must be well aware of the legal implications, should things go awry.

In the case of any 'surprise labour checks' during the time you are in their office, the employer would be penalised more than you, the 'employee'.

It is forbidden for any expatriate to be gainfully employed unless they are on an employment contract for 2-years, or on short-term employment contracts as may be permissible.

By not taking you on a proper work visa, the company stands to gain much as they do not have to be bothered about the mandatories that go with an employment visa such as the annual return airfare, medical insurance coverage, housing, transportation, etc.

By accepting the offer you are putting yourself at a risk.
