Expats barred from more jobs in Oman: Systems analysts, engineers, and managers now restricted

Oman has broadened its Omanisation policy, adding engineering, IT, quality control, and technical roles to the list of professions restricted to non-Omani workers. The changes, effective immediately for some positions and phased in until 2027 for others, aim to prioritize employment for Omani nationals. This initiative impacts over 30 professions across various sectors, requiring employers to adjust their workforce strategies.
