Most expatriate hiring is done by employers and recruiters, after which the employer applies for the work permit. Omanisation shapes the market: employers must meet Omani-staffing requirements and some occupations are closed to non-Omanis, so check whether a role is open before applying. The Ministry of Labour runs the employment services for Omani job seekers. Oil and gas, logistics, construction, tourism and healthcare are large employers, and English is common in business.
