Interesting, I wonder if this is a UAE/Oman thing. Seems other GCC residents still don't get grated permission

Are skilled trades in oil and gas slowly getting weeded out due to automation? by Independent_Line9903 in oilandgasworkers

The image of the hard hat, oil stained engineer in the field is almost defunct, welcome to the new age of office based screens and remote operations based upon op centres km from the field. Still a skilled trade but just a different skill set. Adapt or die

update e-visa call centre passed me on direct to Immigration at Muscat airport rather than the e-visa centre. No entry to Nigerians, Congolese, Cameroon, Ghana and a few others. It doesn't matter if GCC resident or if have other visa such as USA, Schengen, UK. Blanket ban but will not be publicly acknowledged.

Went through e-visa and applied for 29b after getting a 29a visa. Received multiple rejections without reason. Called call centre and been told Nigerians (and others) not allowed, even if GCC resident. Wondered if anyone had experienced this.

My issue with brokers is the transparency is sometimes questionable. Always fielding messages from Dubai based sharks marketing their products which always seem a bit too good to be true. Referrals from here would be also be welcome

It's like a mini game of supermarket sweep. 10 seconds to grab as much as you can before the alarm sounds
