2 Can i get family status with the provided salary.
3. Is salary sufficient to live in Oman with family.

Please help me out as I'm listening that oman has very stringent rules towards working women

Hi expat46oman,

Please read the forum and you will find all the information you would need about relocating to the Sultanate.

Just for your quick information find below my responses marked against your queries :

1. Can my wife be eligible to work in oman. - Not if it is a white-collar job. Some exceptions are there like nurses, housemaids, beauticians, heath worker, etc.

2 Can i get family status with the provided salary. - Yes, you will be eligible to sponsor your family.

3. Is salary sufficient to live in Oman with family. - Yes, the salary would be enough for you to be able to manage an average lifestyle, but certainly nothing fancy !

Again my kind advice to you is please read the numerous other posts in this forum and you will get all the answers you are looking for.
