Arabic-language reference guide to company formation in Oman under the Commercial Companies Law (RD 18/2019) and the Foreign Capital Investment Law (RD 50/2019). General legal information, not legal advice; verify with Omani counsel or MOCIIP.
Oman's Foreign Capital Investment Law (effective 2020) allows up to 100% foreign ownership in most activities, removing the old local-shareholder rule; a negative list (around 37 activities) remains reserved. The old OMR 150,000 minimum for foreign LLCs was eased (practice figures around OMR 20,000; OMR 150,000 may persist for some regulated activities). Registration runs through MOCIIP's Invest Easy platform.
