Oman has formally standardised the fees for citizenship and nationality-related services, introducing a revised schedule that clearly defines the costs for applicants seeking Omani nationality. The decision, reported by Gulf News, was published in the Sultanate’s Official Gazette and came into effect on January 4, 2026.
Under the new framework, individuals applying for Omani citizenship will be required to pay a fixed fee of OMR 600. This charge also applies to applications submitted by foreign women married to Omani nationals, as well as widows or divorced spouses of Omani citizens. In addition, the same fee is applicable to the minor children of Omani women seeking nationality-related status.
The updated regulations also introduce a separate fee of OMR 200 for services related to the withdrawal or voluntary relinquishment of Omani nationality. Authorities clarified that this charge is limited to processing such requests and does not reflect any change in policy regarding nationality laws.
According to officials, the revised fee structure is part of a broader effort to streamline and standardise administrative procedures governing nationality services across the Sultanate. Importantly, the changes are confined strictly to service and application fees. There have been no amendments to eligibility criteria, legal requirements, or the evaluation process for citizenship applications.
Government sources emphasised that the move aims to improve transparency and consistency in how nationality-related services are processed in Oman, while keeping the existing legal framework governing citizenship fully intact.
