 |
|
Hi all, My wife is in the process of being offered a teaching post in Oman.
I will be the "accompanying spouse" and as she cannot sponsor me, i believe that I must "border hop" every month to renew my visa.
Any experiences out there about this?
Please reply urgently.
Thanks

Check out the ROP (Royal Omani Police) site for the latest.
www.rop.gov.om
The following Ministry of Information site has some info for you. There is such a thing as a 'family residence' visa.

or try your embassy/consulate or trusted travel agent for info. |

Wives cannot sponsor husbands unless she has a governemnt contract. Private companies not allowed to do this.
As for visa runs - depends where you will be located as to how easy / expensive they are. Usually British expats don't have a problem, but i have heard (not confirmed, just what i have heard through people who do visa runs) that immigration are getting tougher and questionning people. |
