Kindly I would like to ask if someone can inform me about the Omani labour law article which says that the employer have to carry out the one way ticket expenses of his resigned employee.

Hi Mabou,

Welcome to expat.com !

I hope our members living in Oman can provide information on this matter.

In the meantime, have you read others threads from the Oman Forum ? Maybe this subject has already been covered.

All the best

Hi,

It is under Article 56 of the Labour Law of Oman.

Article 56 says:

The employer shall be obliged to repatriate a non-Omani worker to his country upon termination of the work relationship with him unless the sponsorship of such worker is transferred to another employer. It the employer declines to do so, the relevant directorate shall repatriate the worker at the expense of the Government and revert to the employer for recovery of the amount paid.

Hope it helps:)
