Oman.

Launched by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion on 29 Sep 2021 (applications from 3 Oct 2021); the launch date is the ministry's announcement, because the decision creating the programme has not been found. First category (10-year card): OMR 500,000 in a joint-stock company, government bonds or (from March 2022, Ministerial Decision 58/2022) residential property, or a company employing 50 Omanis. Second category (5-year card): OMR 250,000. Retirees also eligible. Visa and residence fees set by ROP Decision 234/2021 (OMR 500 / OMR 300, renewal every three years). On 31 Aug 2025 the ministry launched a '10-Year Golden Residency' with seven routes and a single OMR 200,000 minimum; its legal instrument and fees were not found, and it is not clear whether the 5-year category remains. Investors are 'not entitled to claim Omani citizenship, except under the existing regulations'. A separate owner residence for any property owner (no minimum in the text) was set by ROP Decision 87/2026.

Non-Omanis may buy built units or plots in licensed Integrated Tourism Complexes; the owner of a built unit and first-degree relatives may be granted residence (Royal Decree 12/2006 art. 8). Under the 2007 executive regulations the residence is for two years, renewed automatically every two years for six years; owners of a building plot get a two-year multiple-entry investor visa until construction is completed. No minimum price is set in the texts read. 'launched' is the decree's in-force date (date of issue, 19 Feb 2006; published 1 Mar 2006). Separate from omn-investor-residence (2021, which also has OMR 250,000/500,000 property categories under MD 58/2022). MD 109/2022 (in force 30 May 2022) rewrote art. 2 of the regulations (who may own ITC units; usufruct only in Musandam) and left the residence articles unchanged, so the system was still in force in 2022. ROP Decision 87/2026 (in force 22 Jun 2026) gives an 'owner residence' without sponsor to any foreigner owning a registered or not-yet-registered property unit, which would cover ITC owners, but it does not mention ITCs. No repeal of Royal Decree 12/2006 was found, but no current official page on ITC residence was reached (the housing ministry and ROP sites did not respond), so status is left empty. No official counts found. In scope under decision 15 (refined): buying property is in even without a minimum price; the purchase rule is recorded with the amount unset.
