Pros and Cons of Living in Oman

4. Education is quite expensive

If you have children, schooling is a huge expense in Oman. It should be one of the main factors to consider when deciding on accepting a job offer, as ideally a company would cover schooling costs. Many schools will require you to pay all the fees before the first day of the term and some even ask for a refundable deposit. For a better idea of tuition fees.

5. No freedom to switch jobs

Labour laws are quite strict in Oman. As an expat, if you decide to leave your job and your employer refuses to give you a No-Objection Certificate (NOC), you will be banned from working in the country for a period of two years. Additionally, if you leave your job and then leave the country temporarily, the two-year ban will still apply, regardless of whether you have obtained an NOC or not.
