You own it — freehold

In Oman's integrated tourism complexes (ITCs), foreign buyers can own property outright, with title registered in their name.

☀

January highs around 76°F

Muscat's average daily high in January is about 76°F. Beaches, marinas and mountains are part of everyday life.

Life on the coast

What a week here can look like

How it works

Start from the U.S. Here's how it works.

Most of the process can happen from home. For the final registration, you either come to Muscat or sign a power of attorney — we'll tell you upfront which suits your purchase.

From the U.S. done remotelyIn Muscat or by POA in person or by power of attorney
Talk it through on a call
1

Talk to us From the U.S.

A 30-minute video call about your budget, timeline and how you'll use the home.

2

Tour by live video From the U.S.

Walk through the home, the showroom or the site with us on a live video call.

3

Reserve and sign From the U.S.

You get the reservation terms in writing before you pay. The sale agreement is with the developer and, depending on the developer, can often be signed electronically.

4

Pay the developer directly From the U.S.

By international wire, following the developer's payment plan. Oman's escrow law requires payments for off-plan projects to go into a project escrow account.

5

Register your title In Muscat or by POA

Ownership is registered in your name with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and you receive a title deed. If you can't travel, someone can sign for you under a power of attorney notarized and apostilled in the U.S. (Oman is a party to the Apostille Convention) and translated into Arabic. We'll agree the exact wording with the developer and the registry before you sign it.

Taxes

Taxes: Oman and the IRS

Straight answers — and the questions to take to your CPA.

  • Oman has no annual property tax.
  • From January 1, 2028, Oman will introduce a 5% personal income tax on the portion of annual income above OMR 42,000, after applicable deductions and exemptions. Rental income is within scope; your liability depends on your circumstances, including your tax residence.
  • U.S. citizens and green card holders are taxed on worldwide income, so rental income from Oman is reportable to the IRS. There is no U.S.–Oman income tax treaty.
  • We're not tax advisors. Talk to a U.S. tax professional before you buy — our guide lists the questions to ask.

FAQ

Questions U.S. buyers ask

Can Americans buy property in Oman?

Yes, in designated areas. In integrated tourism complexes (ITCs) such as Al Mouj, Muscat Bay, Yiti (AIDA) and Hawana Salalah, foreign buyers can own freehold property registered in their name. Outside designated areas, foreigners generally can't own property — every home we offer to U.S. buyers is in an area where they can.

Is it safe to travel to Oman right now?

The U.S. State Department currently rates Oman Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Please read the Oman travel advisory on travel.state.gov before you plan a trip. You can start with video calls and live video tours, and decide about a visit later.

Can I buy without traveling to Oman?

Mostly, yes. Calls, video tours, reservation, the sale agreement and payments can be handled from the U.S. Final title registration needs either a visit to Muscat or a power of attorney, notarized and apostilled in the U.S. and translated into Arabic. We'll agree the wording with the developer and the registry in advance and explain which option fits your purchase.

What will I pay on top of the price?

An estimated registration fee of 3% of the price plus government document fees, optional legal fees if you hire your own lawyer, power of attorney costs if you buy remotely, and yearly community or service fees set by each project. Whitewill charges buyers nothing on developer sales — the developer pays our fee.

How do I pay from the U.S., and who holds the money?

You pay the developer directly by international wire, following the developer's payment plan. We never handle your money. For off-plan projects, Oman's escrow law requires buyers' payments to go into a project escrow account.

Do I get residency if I buy?

Property owners may qualify for an Omani residence permit, and family members may be included. Long-term residency starts with an investment of OMR 200,000 (about $520,000) in a completed home in an ITC. An off-plan purchase may become eligible after completion and title issuance, subject to the program's requirements. Approval is up to the Omani authorities — we'll check your case.

Can I rent the home out when I'm not using it?

Personal use and rental options depend on the unit and the project's terms. At Al Mouj, Savills is the community's partner for leasing and property management; branded residences have their own arrangements. We'll share the terms for the homes you're considering — we don't promise rental returns.

Can I get a mortgage?

Developer payment plans spread payments over the construction period. Ask us about financing options for your situation.

Who will I be talking to?
