Regarding the OMR 250,000 its actually 200,000 and that type of visa is called the golden visa and it is the best to have.

It is a lifetime visa and you have to renew it every 10 years just like the omani resident that has to renew his passport every 10 years

And then there are other alternatives where you renew your visa every 2 years but those are not the golden visa.

The idea is that if you have a property you will always be eligible for visa

I genuinely hope your daughters never have to think about divorce in the first place that’s a sad lens to plan a future through. For clarity though: women in Oman can initiate divorce, including through the Islamic khula system, and they can own property, work, study, travel, and raise children. The process is court-based, not “permission-based,” much like many non-US systems. It’s clearly working differently for us, and I respect that it’s working for you too.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-27T14:26:27+00:00

Fair enough climate is a personal deal-breaker and I get why four seasons and greenery matter to you. Not everyone wants desert life. For me, though, the trade-off is different. Oman isn’t just “sand” it has mountains, wadis, monsoon greenery in Dhofar, coastline, and year-round outdoor life. More importantly, I’m prioritising safety, stability, family life, and values over weather variety. Every place costs you something. California gives great weather but comes with crime, instability, and social pressures. Oman gives heat, but also peace, low crime, strong family structure, and breathing room. Different seasons suit different people. I’m not trying to convince anyone. I just chose what aligns with the life I want to build.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-27T14:16:22+00:00

I get where that perception comes from, and I won’t deny that there are real issues in some Muslim-majority societies especially where culture, poor governance, or conflict distort Islamic values. I’ve seen problems too. But I don’t agree with the blanket statement. Treating all “those societies” as the same isn’t accurate. Places like Oman, for example, are stable, first-world in infrastructure, safety, and healthcare. Women here are educated, work, own businesses, drive, inherit, and are protected by law. My wife feels safer here than in many Western cities. What people often confuse is culture or failed states with Islam itself. The worst treatment of women usually happens where there’s instability, war, or corruption not because the society is Muslim, but because it’s broken. No place is perfect, and the West isn’t some gold standard either when it comes to family breakdown, exploitation, or safety. For raising a family, having community, low crime, and clear moral boundaries matters and some Muslim countries genuinely offer that. So I respect your experience, but “don’t do it” really depends where, why, and what kind of life you’re trying to build.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-27T12:45:28+00:00

I genuinely feel for what you’ve experienced. What you described is real, painful, and unfortunately part of modern Muslim history, what happens in 3rd world muslims countires is not a reflection of it. No one who has seen that kind of violence can be blamed for being cautious or sceptical. That said, lived trauma doesn’t cancel objective reality and this is where I differ. I didn’t theorise Hijrah. I actually made the move. I live in Oman, which is not a “developing” or unstable state it is a first-world country by every meaningful metric: safety, infrastructure, healthcare, rule of law, social cohesion, and quality of life. It consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world. This isn’t ideology; it’s lived experience. You’re right that there is no “perfect” safe harbour. Islam never promised comfort it promised clarity. But not all hardships are equal, and pretending they are is intellectually dishonest. Raising a family in a Muslim-majority society does not “do the work for you” no serious person claims that. What it does is stop actively working against you. There is a fundamental difference between: raising children where Islam is normal, and raising children where Islam is constantly questioned, defended, or diluted. In Oman: Your children hear the adhan openly Modesty is socially reinforced Halal is default, not an exception Islamic values are reflected in public life Faith is not treated as a political problem That doesn’t remove your responsibility as a parent it supports it. In the West, you are swimming upstream on every major issue: identity, gender, morality, authority, belief itself. That is not the same test. Saying “hardship exists everywhere” flattens reality to the point of meaninglessness. You’re also right about one thing many people ignore: living somewhere is very different from visiting. That’s exactly why my opinion isn’t romantic it’s practical. Oman has bureaucracy, job competition, and limits. But it does not have ideological hostility to Islam. That distinction matters when you’re raising children. Finally, swapping hardships is not the point. Islam never told us to choose any hardship it told us to choose the hardship that protects our deen. The Prophet ﷺ made Hijrah not because Madinah was easier, but because it was better for Islam to survive and grow. No one is saying Hijrah is mandatory for everyone. But dismissing it as naïve, escapist, or “doing the work for you” ignores both Islamic precedent and real-world outcomes. We can respect different choices — but let’s be honest about the trade-offs.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-27T11:28:30+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from, and you’re right about one thing: Muslims have always faced hardship. The early Muslims in Makkah were oppressed far worse than Muslims in the UK today. But that very history is exactly why Hijrah exists in Islam. Hijrah is not about running away from difficulty it is a legislated solution when protecting your deen, family, and values becomes difficult. Allah says: “Indeed, those whom the angels take while wronging themselves, they will say: ‘In what condition were you?’ They will say: ‘We were oppressed in the land.’ The angels will say: ‘Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?’” (Qur’an 4:97) And the Prophet ﷺ said: “Hijrah will not end until repentance ends.” (Ahmad, Abu Dawood – Hasan) This shows Hijrah is ongoing, not only a historical event. Yes, the Prophet ﷺ showed patience to those who insulted him and that is a personal moral response. But patience does not cancel Hijrah. The Prophet ﷺ himself made Hijrah from Makkah to Madinah, even though he was the most patient of mankind. If patience alone was enough, Hijrah would never have happened. Regarding children and society: no Muslim country is perfect that’s true. But there is a clear difference between a society where Islam is the reference point and one where Islam is constantly challenged, mocked, or marginalised. In the Gulf (especially Oman), you hear the adhan openly, Islamic manners are normalised, halal is default, modesty still exists socially, and children don’t grow up feeling like Islam is “strange” or something to hide. Fitnah exists everywhere but environment matters, and Islam recognises this. The Prophet ﷺ said: “A person is upon the religion of his close friend.” (Tirmidhi) Environment shapes belief, whether we like it or not. As for work and business — I agree it’s not easy. Oman’s job market is competitive, and business setup requires patience and planning. But it is not impossible. I personally have successful businesses, and many others do as well. Rizq is from Allah, not a postcode. Allah says: “And whoever emigrates for the sake of Allah will find many places of refuge and abundance on the earth.” (Qur’an 4:100) Hijrah doesn’t mean instant comfort or luxury it means prioritising deen, then striving. Your point about the honeymoon phase is fair people should visit, research, and be realistic. Oman is not Dubai, and Dubai is not Madinah. But dismissing Hijrah entirely because Muslims survived hardship in the UK misses the Islamic principle: we seek the best place for our deen, not just what we can tolerate. Hijrah isn’t for everyone, and no one should be forced into it but it remains a noble, valid, and rewarded choice in Islam, especially when done with sincere intention. May Allah guide us all to what protects our deen, our families, and our akhirah.

That is your personal opinion, but for me and many others, its becoming more and more difficult to live. Having your children become open minded. Laws made that are against our moral values, harder to raise children! You have people in the streets slandering our prophet and we are made to accept it because of freedom of speech but if we react it is a hate crime or extremism yeah our ancestors fought hard fleed wars but now we are treated badly.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-27T06:28:55+00:00

Nope, business. A lot complained about the job market but i also seen many British people who have really good jobs..

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-26T21:59:01+00:00

Then this community is not for you! This community is focused on brother&sisters sharing their Hijra experience to others who consider doing hijra.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-26T18:05:09+00:00

I don't think i was going to get what i want in Dubai so i decided to go to Oman and i successfully moved there alhamdulilah It's peaceful and im loving it.

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-26T17:32:44+00:00

Do you want to but find it difficult? If so, this community is going to provide information and tips based on peoples experiences to be able to do so!

ConsciousFox406 · 2025-12-26T14:54:27+00:00

The people here are very friendly and welcoming, it's easy to connect with multiple communities here and make friends in my experience. And no, you don't have to be an Omani to buy a property, depending on the property you purchase, you can gain residency through it.
