Standing note
Everything in this section is general information current at the date shown on each page, and is not legal advice. Sources conflict on several points — notably the residency renewal cycle and the current escrow position — and where they do, the conflict is stated rather than resolved. Take a written opinion from Omani counsel before contracting.
