Where foreign buyers can own
Foreign ownership in Oman is available in designated developments and ownership zones. Many of the best-known opportunities sit inside Integrated Tourism Complexes, while selected master-planned developments may also offer ownership to non-Omanis under their approved structures. The exact ownership route should always be confirmed for the specific project and unit.
What to check before you reserve
Before paying a reservation or signing a sale agreement, verify the exact unit, ownership status, developer or seller authority, payment schedule, service charges, handover status, transfer fees, and any restrictions attached to the property. For resale units, the title and clearance position should be reviewed carefully.
Residency and property ownership
Property ownership and residency are related but separate matters. Some qualifying properties can support a property-owner residence application, while higher-value qualifying investments may fall under Oman’s Golden Residency programme. Eligibility should be checked against the current government rules at the time of purchase.
How Kanz helps
Kanz can compare locations, project types, ready versus off-plan options, resale opportunities and transaction costs. The goal is to help you choose the destination and ownership structure before choosing the individual unit.
