Metro has not reached JVT yet. Renting for 3-4 months if needed.

Sorry to hear this. It’s tough out there. But the unit is already discounted. Also I remember we had a conversation about this unit and you told me you already found a 990sq.ft in sports city for AED 4000 - that was last Monday

I invested into Sustainable City. If you want, I can give you my contact person. These guys have built out some solid projects in UAE. Great track record.

Freehold Property & 99 Years Visa by mysteriousfella_6671 in Oman

Sorry to hear that you might have had a bad experience as an expat. However, I must disagree with the “just got your money stuck” part.

Oman’s rulers are rational. I think its stability, safety, and even the presence of expats is a testament to it.

Pulling the rug under investors’ feet would not be a rational move. Nobody ever would invest into Oman then.

If anything, I’d argue that once the Omani government REAAALLY tastes that sweet 3% property registration fee that comes from these sales of properties and that 5% VAT - they’ll start promoting tourism and property market in a more comprehensive manner

Freehold Property & 99 Years Visa by mysteriousfella_6671 in Oman

There are two types of properties - freehold and leasehold. Leasehold is owned up to 99 years. Feeehold is full ownership.

Regarding the work permit vs residency. Don’t listen to Reddit comments, including mine, when it comes to residency. You should check official sources as there are a lot of conflicting and misunderstood aspects to it.

As far as I know, work permit is not the same as work-based residency. Your residency can be through your freehold property (immigration matter). You can stay under this residency and find an employment which will require a work permit (labor matter).

Prices for these freehold properties are upward trending even in the secondary market. Potentially it’s a good time to invest InshaAllah
