How to get a resident card for a business owner

I have opened a company in Duqm free zone.

I found information on how to get a resident card if you are an employee, but can't find information on how to get one if you are the business owner.

Can anyone advise?

Its the responsibility of your sponsor to provide you the Visa.

You haven't mentioned the scale of your company (whether you're an independent investor or opening the firm as a joint venture). In either of the cases, your resident card will be solely the responsibility of your main sponsor.

First and foremost you should consider hiring me.secondly, someone here will help you on how to go about it.lastly God bless the queen

Hi Clever-Thoughts,

That is exactly why you have a local sponsor. It is the responsibility of the local partner / company PRO to ensure that all official paperwork (in Arabic of course) and all business dealings are conducted as per the governing rules and regulations of setting up a new business in the Sultanate.

Hi Sumitran,

I don't have a partner as it is in a freezone.

Can you advise on any PRO companies?

Hi Clever-Thoughts,

Safer would be for you to go through the people who helped register your company / business.

Alternately you should seek the assistance of some reputed law firm specialising in company registrations, mergers, acquisitions, and such.
