If i am waiting for clearance for labour card, can i still reside in Muscat while i wait
Hi krissy archer,
You post is not clear.
What do you mean by "waiting for clearance for labour card" ?
If you are on an employment visa, then you can just go and get your resident card processed within a matter of an hour maximum.
If you are on a dependent visa, the same is the case too.
There is no 'waiting' or any 'clearance' required for getting the resident card - provided you are either on an employment visa or have come on a family joining visa.
If you are not on both, then you do not qualify for getting a resident card.
Hi, i am so sorry for being unclear. I am engaged to a someone who resides in Muscat but i am still in america and i am waiting to hear if a company approves for me to work with them in Muscat, but while i wait i want to reside with my fiance and was wondering if there are proper steps i need to take..
Hi krissy archer,
Well, the only way you could come and be with your fiance here in Oman is by getting yourself a visit visa. If you hold an American passport you are eligible to get a visa on arrival. But that visa will be valid only be for a temporary period.
Can you tell me what is the longest period i can stay on a visit visa
Hi krissy archer,
Every visit visa is valid for a period of 3 months, and extendable by 1-more month. So maximum is 4-months, after which the visa holder has to necessarily exit the Sultanate and return.
Awesome!! Thank you so much for all your help.
