Dear Julien,

Thanks for creating the thread. Everyone is welcome for any advice on Oman.

Regards,

I am new here in muscat Oman, I am from Nigeria
I will like to meet new people. Especially Nigerians to to let me know some places.

Goodday,hope all is well.I am Nigerian physician currently working in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the distant future I would like to move to Oman if possible. I would like to confirm some information first
1)As an expat does the omani government still collect and hold on to your passport
2)I know they still practice the kalifa system there but how stringent is it
3)Is it better to work for a private hospital or government hospital, money aside
4)How bad is racism and discrimination there is it as bad as as in America or other middle eastern countries, please be truthful about this as you have nothing to gain or lose by telling me the truth
5)All things being equal can you point in the direction for me to start my transition

Good day doc.

Hello everyone!
I'm Alban, Civil engineer from North Macedonia. Arrived in Muscat in the beginning of this year. Planning to stay for at least 2 years. Currently living in Al Amarat area (work is closer from here). Settling's been good so far with minor issues on the way. Loving the country. 

Main issue: Driving license. I know probably there's been a lot of posts related to this topic but since I'm new around I'd be glad if someone can guide me. As it stands my Macedonian driving license is not recognized in Oman (even though we drive in the same side, is accepted in EU and most parts of the world). Apparently I need to take some classes and then pass the exam (not sure which exam, do i go full driving school or how?) 

The forum looks cool I have just found it and I am happy I did ) 

Hi all,

I have just moved to Oman. I am from Mauritius and would like to connect with people here.

This topic about the driving licence interest me.  I heard that even if I have an international licence, I still need to take the driving test here ?

Pls help.

Thanking you beforehand.

My name is Henry from Zimbabwe I have been in Muscat for one month now would gladly want to meet up with any Zimbo's for a catch up.

Hi Everyone,

I'm from Pakistan. here in Oman since past few months.

Will be glad to hear if the members and Team Expat.com can give me correct information.         

I have done visa medical recently in Oman, i am on a visit visa. I was positive for HCV by Elisa method, value more than 2.5. They advised me to do PCR test.

As per comments from different members, antibodies will always be present for lifetime in blood.

Please share if someone has clear information about below scenarios.

1- Can i get the work permit if the HCV is ''not detected'' in the PCR test?

2- What will be next step to get work permit if PCR results also show the ''HCV detected''?

Thanks in advance
