What Is the Work Permit Clearance Fee (Mazonia)?
Mazonia is the online work permit clearance system managed by the Ministry of Labour in Oman. Every foreign worker or investor must obtain a work permit clearance (Mazonia) before a visa can be issued.
The Work Permit Clearance Fee (Mazonia) covers:
- Labour market verification — confirming the position is not restricted under Omanization rules
- Occupation clearance — matching your business activity with approved job codes
- Security screening — background verification through government databases
The Work Permit Clearance Fee (Mazonia) is OMR 158.500 for a 1-year clearance and OMR 317 for a 2-year clearance. This is a government fee — it cannot be negotiated or reduced.
What Are the Omani PRO Fees?
PRO stands for Public Relations Officer. In Oman, certain visa processes require an Omani national to act as a PRO to submit documents to government departments on your behalf.
The PRO-related costs include:
- Adding Omani PRO (OMR 20) — government fee to register a PRO on your company
- Removing Omani PRO (OMR 20) — government fee to deregister the PRO after visa processing
- Omani PRO Fee (OMR 100) — the PRO agent's service charge for handling submissions
This is a standard requirement. All companies processing investor visas in Oman use an Omani PRO.
How Much Does a Family Visa Cost?
As an investor visa holder, you can sponsor your spouse and children (under 21). Family visa costs are additional:
| Family Member | Visa Fee | Medical | Oman ID | Total per Person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spouse | OMR 30 | OMR 30 | OMR 6–11 | ~OMR 66–71 |
| Child (under 21) | OMR 30 | OMR 30 | OMR 6–11 | ~OMR 66–71 |
Family joining visas take 7–10 working days after the main investor visa is stamped.
How Does This Compare to the Oman Golden Visa?
The standard investor visa (OMR 480–750) and the Golden Visa are completely different programs:
| Standard Investor Visa | Golden Visa (Tier 2) | Golden Visa (Tier 1) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa Cost | OMR 480–750 | OMR 326 | OMR 551 |
| Min. Investment | None | OMR 250,000 | OMR 500,000 |
| Validity | 1–2 years | 5 years | 10 years |
| Requires Company | Yes | Not always | Not always |
| Best For | Entrepreneurs & small businesses | Property investors | High-value investors |
Most of our clients choose the standard investor visa because it has no minimum capital requirement — you only need a registered company. The Golden Visa requires OMR 250,000+ in investment.
