Hello,
I am an engineer employed in Oman and have a valid residence permit. I managed to get resident cards for my parents through my employer when they visited me in Oman. They have gone back to their home country and have not returned for almost a year.
The expiry date on their residence cards is in January 2016 but they are being told that their visa is no longer valid as they have not returned to Oman within 6 months of their last departure.
My question is: Do residence visas expire if the resident card holder stays outside of Oman for more than 6 months?
Thanks in advance.
