Buying property in Oman for Indonesians: a Muslim-friendly home with residency

For Indonesian families and investors, Oman offers something rare in the Gulf: a calm, Muslim-majority country where foreigners can own freehold homes and, since 2026, receive residency simply by buying a home in a permitted area. This guide explains the basics.

Why Indonesian buyers look at Oman

• A familiar way of life: mosques in every neighbourhood, halal food everywhere, Ramadan and Eid as part of daily life.
• Safe and quiet: Oman is known for its low crime and relaxed pace.
• Residency for the family: owner residency without a sponsor, for spouse and children.
• Hard-currency asset: the Omani rial is pegged to the US dollar.

Getting there

There are usually no direct flights from Jakarta; most routes connect through Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi, around 10–12 hours in total.

What you can buy

Paying from Indonesia

• Payments are made in OMR to the developer under a sale contract, often in instalments for off-plan units.
• Large international transfers may need supporting documents; ask your bank which ones before you reserve.
• Keep every receipt for registration and residency.

Residency step by step

1. Register the purchase with the Ministry of Housing.
2. Apply for owner residency with property documents, passport and medical.
3. Add your family.

The 10-year Golden Residency needs a completed, titled property worth at least OMR 200,000.
