Existing visa ban

Hi dineshrk,

Unfortunately for expatriate employees, the NOC rule still holds good.  There has been no let up on that issue as yet. The issue remains status quo.

If you do not have an NOC and if you wish to come back to the Sultanate, you would have to wait for a minimum period of 2 years from the date of your last departure.

Thank you sumithran sir for your reply. So the ban is valid till Nov 2017 in my case right. At the time of departure I didn't got exit in the passport. Is there any problem in that...??

Sir
Me also left in August 2014.Iam looking for a new visa.So is there any source for checking my ban completion status through online?

Hi Asgar Salim,

There is no online status check facility regarding the 2-year waiting period between jobs, in the absence of the last employer's NOC.

The rule is pretty simple and straightforward. The countdown would start from the date of exit and until the completion of 2-years from the date of departure.

Hi Gs862630,

If you had an employment visa stamped in your passport, then without an NOC, you cannot go back to Oman for a period of 2-years - from the date of your visa cancellation.
