Working in Oman

Dear Priscilla,

Oman is one of the best countries in the Arabian Gulf to work. However, it is a little difficult to get a work permit for ladies except for some specific categories. Teaching is one such special category, and I teach in a private college which comes under the Ministry of Higher Education. My wife also works here (Muscat) in an Italian Engineering company.

You can straight away apply to the colleges / companies if you have a minimum of two years' work experience. There are a lot of vacancies in the educational sector, esp., for English teachers. Native English speakers are in high demand. I'm an Indian and our college has a lot of other nationalities.

Freedom of worship is here, and we have Christian churches and Hindu temples in Muscat. Oman is one of the safest and peaceful countries, and the people are very good. As an Indian, this is my second home.

All jobs have to be applied on line or through the agencies here. I can help anyone out with the addresses of such agencies on request. I will also be pleased to help people in settling down in Muscat if needed.

Well, that's it from here and wish you all the best.

Best regards,
Varghese.

Dear Dr. Arun,

I'm in Kerala, India, on vacation now and will be back in Muscat only on the first week of Sept.

Surely I will send you the addresses of such agencies recruiting doctors once I reach back. In the mean time, if interested in teaching, please apply directly to Oman Medical College and Nursing College/Institute. You may also apply to Sultan Quaboos University Hospital or Royal Hospital.

Wishing you all success,

Varghese.

Dear Dr. Arun,

I'm not sure about this but once you apply and get a response, the college will be able to clarify all your doubts. I think it all depends on the college, esp., if it is a private institution.

Best regards,
Varghese.

Ok Thanks. I have heard somewhere around 1500-2000 Oman Rials excluding the Incentives they give, Just to confirm whether it is true or not. Is there any doctor in this group who throw some light into this topic?
