Yes, you can own an LLC, branch office, or any other company setup in Oman’s mainland or Free Zone areas like Sohar, Salalah, Duqm, or KOM in most business sectors. All you need to do is comply with Omanisation and corporate law.

As a foreigner, it may take around 7 to 15 days to obtain approvals, depending on your industry sector. With Enterslice’s services, you can reduce up to 70% of the usual timeline.

The corporate tax is 15% in Oman’s mainland region. If you open a company in a free zone, you may benefit from zero tax liability for up to 30 years. Furthermore, there are no customs duties or VAT within the Free Zones.

Oman no longer has a fixed minimum fund requirement. You can start an LLC with an amount ranging from USD 1,000 to 50,000 depending on your business sector.

Mainland companies can operate in the local market and are subject to corporate tax. Free zone businesses benefit from tax exemptions provided they operate within the zones and do not expand into the mainland market. As of 2026, you do not need a local partner for registering an LLC in either mainland or free zones.

Yes, you can set up a business in Oman without travelling. The entire process can be completed through the InvestEasy platform or the respective Free Zone Authority portal.

Yes, you can register a branch office of your foreign company in Oman by appointing a manager for daily operations. Mainland companies can also open branches in free zones to extend operations and benefit from tax incentives.

Depending on your company size and sector, you may need to hire at least one Oman-based resident to comply with Omanisation requirements.

Al Mazunah Free Zone is cost-effective and ideal for SMEs and cross-border trade. Salalah Free Zone is better suited for export-oriented companies and large distribution hubs.

Sohar Freezone is known for strong industrial infrastructure, heavy manufacturing clusters, and excellent connectivity to GCC markets.
