What do I need to know before retiring in Oman?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Oman, they said...
"Before retiring in Oman, expats should be aware of the country's culture and customs. It is important to research the local laws and regulations, as well as the cost of living. Expats should also consider the availability of healthcare and other services, such as banking and transportation. Additionally, expats should be aware of the climate in Oman, as it can be very hot and humid in the summer months. Finally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements for retirement in Oman," said a member in Oman.
