Oman Sets Seven Requirements for Foreign Husbands' Citizenship

The Sultanate of Oman has published a list of seven conditions that foreign men married to Omani women must fulfill to apply for Omani citizenship. Applicants must have completed a minimum of 10 years of continuous legal residency in Oman, with allowances for absences of up to 90 days per year.

Proficiency in Arabic, both reading and writing, is required, along with a good reputation and conduct. Applicants must not have any felony convictions or crimes involving moral turpitude, must be medically fit and free from infectious diseases, and must have a legitimate source of income sufficient to support themselves and their dependents.

Additionally, they must declare their intention to renounce their current nationality and confirm they do not hold any other nationality beyond the one they are renouncing. The requirement to renounce existing nationality prohibits dual citizenship for successful applicants.
