Currently, there are more than two million foreigners working and residing in Oman - of which, about 1.8 million are workers. They outnumber the nationals especially in the private sector, where only less than 15% employed are nationals.

The Middle East labor market has taken another turn for the worse for prospective foregin applicants. Saudi Arabia and Oman has set new restrictions on foreign nationals looking for work in these oil rich region. In a bid to stem the growing number of unemployment among locals, countries in the region are tightening the rules and limiting the vacancies available for expats. Minister of Labor and Social Development Ali Al-Ghafees has issued a decree to limit work in 12 new activities to Saudi men and women starting September 2018. The 12 work areas banned for expats are: watch shops, optical stores, medical equipment stores, electrical and electronics shops, outlets selling car spare part, building material shops, outlets selling all types of carpets, automobile and mobike shops, shops selling home furniture and ready-made office material, sale outlets of ready-made garments, children clothes and men’s supplies, household utensils shops and pastry shops. Oman's Minister of Manpower, Abdullah bin Nasser Al Bakri has issued Ministerial Decree 2018/38 last Sunday, imposing a six-month ban on hiring foreigners seeking work in 10 different industries. The ban includes jobs in the following sector: IT media air traffic management engineering accounting and finance technicians insurance marketing and sales administration and human resources According to minister Abdullah Al Bakri, the new ban, implemented immediately, aims to increase the employment rate among nationals. The hiring freeze “would help companies to create vacancies for Omanis who are looking for jobs,” he said.
