Employment Visa requirements Oman

Hello,

I am on a family joining visa in Oman but I am looking for work聽 聽 聽 I have had an interview with a potential employer who would like to hire me as a consultant for a 9 month contract聽 聽 they have stated that since I would not be on their official payroll,聽 I do not need to change the status of my visa聽 聽 this is in contradiction to everything I have read聽 聽 does anyone know if there is such a possibility to be hired as a consultant while still on a family joining visa?聽 聽 聽Any questions I should ask this employer before signing any agreement聽 聽 聽

Many thanks
Tina

Hi Tina Gascon Montgomery,

Simply put, the deal that has been offered to you is ... illegal.

The one who has suggested the arrangement to you must be well aware of the legal implications, should things go awry.

In the case of any 'surprise labour checks' during the time you are in their office, the employer would be penalised more than you, the 'employee'.

It is forbidden for any expatriate to be gainfully employed unless they are on an employment contract for 2-years, or on short-term employment contracts as may be permissible.

By not taking you on a proper work visa, the company stands to gain much as they do not have to be bothered about the mandatories that go with an employment visa such as the annual return airfare, medical insurance coverage, housing, transportation, etc.

By accepting the offer you are putting yourself at a risk.
