Be careful before you pay

In October 2023 Oman suspended most visas for Bangladeshis; some categories (professionals, family etc.) reopened in 2024, but general worker visas remain restricted. In September 2026 a deal was signed to hire 5,000 farm and 5,000 fishery workers, but the recruitment rules are not final yet. Do not pay before checking with BMET and Omani official sources.

  • Verify the agency's RL licence with BMET
