Working in Oman.
Oman rewrote its labour law in 2023 and later brought in a separate law for domestic workers. Roles run across construction, facilities, logistics, hospitality and healthcare support.
To take up a job in Oman from India you need an offer from an Omani employer, a written contract, a medical test at an approved centre, an employer-sponsored labour clearance and work visa, and emigration clearance if your passport is ECR. We prepare each step with you and tell you what happens next.
- The employer applies for labour clearance before your visa can be issued.
- Housing and food are usually provided for blue-collar roles, and we confirm what is included.
- The medical test is booked at an approved centre through the Wafid (GAMCA) system.
- An ECR passport means emigration clearance through the eMigrate system before you travel.
- Salaries are paid through Oman's Wage Protection System.

What to expect, in plain words.
How the job is offered
An Omani employer interviews you and issues an offer, then applies for labour clearance. We confirm the role, the hours and what is included, since housing and food are usually provided, before you agree.
Your salary is paid through a bank
Under Oman's Wage Protection System, so the payment is recorded rather than handed over in cash.
Before you fly
An ECR passport needs emigration clearance through eMigrate. You also need the Wafid (GAMCA) medical and the PBBY insurance cover. We handle each of these with you.
How long it usually takes
Once you are selected and your documents are in order, the labour clearance, medical and visa steps usually take a few weeks.
What protects you.
- A written contract
- Set limits on working hours, with daily rest, a weekly rest day and annual leave
- Health cover and accommodation provided by the employer in most blue-collar roles
- Passport retention and forced labour are banned, and end-of-service pay is due when you leave
Who to call, from day one.
- The Indian Embassy or Consulate in the country you work in. The Ministry of External Affairs publishes every mission and its contact details.
- MADAD, the Government of India's online portal for consular help for Indians abroad.
- The helpline published on the eMigrate portal, for emigration questions from India.
- Nasrec. Someone on our team knows your name and your case, and we keep checking in after you land.
You can reach Nasrec on +91 99468 07777 at any point in your journey. We brief you on all of this before you fly.
