Working as a ballet teacher in Oman - what type of visa do i need to work in different schools in muscat?

Hi Loenherrera,

Generally speaking, it doesn't seem that the Omani government make allowances for foreigners to freelance in the country. 

If you are hired by a school, they will help you obtain the visa. Remember you need to have a secure job offer before applying for a visa.

Because the prospective employer will have to invest so much time and money into hiring an expat, the system makes it difficult to chop and change jobs. If you decide to change jobs you will require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the employer. This is rarely given and for most expats it means leaving Oman for 5 months and then reapplying for another work visa. 

Obviously, your situation is more complicated as you'd technically have more than one employer.

I would contact an immigration specialist and see whether it would be possible for you to start up a business where you offer your services to the schools - see if there is some type of business visa you could get hold of.

In the meantime to get a more detailed overview of the visa process check out the Visas for Oman page

Good luck

Dear Shantalie, Thank you so much for the information and concern. My worries is if one school employed me, I will not be able to offer classes in other schools because that's not allowed right? I hope you can help me to find and look and kind of visa fits me. Thank you again!

Pm brother in Oman and got new offer from Dubai and sharjah but his current employment visa still there valid till next year and employer will no leave him....so in this case if he go back n leave to India and g to Dubai or sharjah will it be having an issue.

If my brother who is working in Oman get leave to India and does not return to Oman even his visa is valid till jun next year and want o join Dubai or Sarah then will there be any issue
