Oman’s real estate market is gaining momentum, attracting investors, expats, and retirees looking for long-term opportunities. But navigating property laws and administrative procedures can be complex — especially for foreign buyers. That’s where Dubai Properties steps in. Backed by deep market research and exclusive partnerships with Oman’s largest and most reputable developers, we ensure every step of your property investment journey is handled with precision and care.
In this guide, we walk you through the complete, research-backed process of purchasing property in Oman — from selecting the right location to obtaining your Title Deed, visa, and residency.
Step 1: Research the Market with Trusted Guidance
Buying property in a foreign country starts with understanding the landscape. At Dubai Properties, we provide curated market insights and verified data so you can:
-
Identify high-growth locations
-
Understand current price trends and ROI potential
-
Compare developer reputations
-
Choose from off-plan or ready properties
We work exclusively with Oman’s largest and most trusted developers, such as Hawana in Salalah or Muscat, giving you access to secure, premium investment opportunities.
Step 2: Choose the Right Area Based on Purpose
Your choice of location should align with your goals — whether it’s investment, lifestyle, or long-term residency. Top areas include:
-
Hawana in Muscat – An ITC (Integrated Tourism Complex) with luxury villas, marina, and golf
-
Qurum & Madinat Sultan Qaboos – Popular with expats and families
-
Salalah – Ideal for holiday homes with rental potential
-
Muscat Hills – A gated golf community close to the airport
Our team conducts area-specific research and walks you through comparative data to ensure you make a decision aligned with your vision.
Step 3: Understand Legal Ownership Eligibility
Foreign nationals can purchase freehold property only within ITCs. These are government-approved zones offering ownership rights and residency benefits.
Dubai Properties ensures your purchase is compliant with:
-
Department of Housing regulations
-
Nationality restrictions and project approvals
-
Freehold ownership laws under Royal Decree 12/2006
We handle all documentation and eligibility checks for you.
Step 4: Define Budget & Secure Financing Options
When calculating your budget, factor in:
-
Property cost
-
Registration fees (4% of property value)
-
Legal and processing fees
-
Developer-specific charges (if any)
We assist you in comparing financing options, and for qualified buyers, we help arrange payment-plans through our Developer partner in Oman.
Step 5: View Properties and Sign Sales Agreement
Once you’ve chosen your property:
-
We organize private tours or virtual viewings
-
Assist with price negotiations
-
Guide you through the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and preliminary sales contract
A small deposit (usually 5–10%) is required to reserve the property while we prepare documents for final sale.
Step 6: Complete Legal Process Through the Department of Housing
The legal transfer of ownership is processed by the Oman Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, which includes:
-
Application review
-
Title verification
-
Issuance of final approval
Dubai Properties liaises with the Department directly, ensuring your transaction is fully compliant and processed without delays. All this happens with local support or our partners.
Step 7: Receive Your Official Title Deed
Once your application is approved and final payment made, you’ll receive your Title Deed — the official legal document that confirms you as the property owner.
We handle the registration and ensure that:
-
The 4% registration fee is paid on your behalf
-
The deed is issued in your name
-
All developer and government clearances are finalized
Step 8: Apply for Your Visa and Residency Card
With your Title Deed in hand, you are now eligible to apply for a residency visa through the Omani authorities. This allows you and your family to legally reside in Oman.
Dubai Properties will assist you in preparing:
-
Residency application
-
Health and background checks
-
Family sponsorship procedures (if applicable)
- Tax Domicile can be transfer after certain period
This benefit makes Oman one of the most attractive destinations for long-term real estate investment in the Gulf.
