Getting family visa for newly joined expat in muscat

Hi friends,
I am new to Oman from india.....
I planned to  bring my family.....
But for applying residence visa for spouse, 6 months bank statement required.....

my query is shall my spouse in visit visa  can be  converted it to residence card ?
Is it 6 months bank statement, required for visit visa also???

Kindly help me and give your suggestions

Hello muthukumar19862,

Visit visa can no longer be converted to family joining visa.

It is mandatory for the spouse to exit Oman and re-enter on the family joining visa.

To apply for a visit visa there is no need to produce any bank statements.

Good luck.
