KOM Technology Park has shut down its OSSS facility. The facility assisted in providing immigration services like work authorisation processing and short-term visa solutions to companies operating in the Technology Park. The facility has now been replaced by a SANAD government services office which has assumed the role of processing immigration requests in KOM.

What This Means for Employers

Companies operating in Oman should note rumours of KOM closing down due to the closure of the OSSS facility are not accurate and KOM continues to operate in Muscat. Companies operating in KOM should note all work authorisation and short-term visa applications are now being processed by the SANAD government services office in KOM. The process for obtaining work authorisation and the applicable documentation requirements remain the same.
