Living with my Girlfriend

looking to see if my girlfriend would be able to live with me

In a Muslim arab state, you can not live with a female without having a legal relationship. If you're officially married to your girlfriend, you can certainly stay together, however without any legal relation, this is not permitted as per Oman law.

Trust this clarifies. There are a few other detailed posts also in this forum related to your query if you could search a bit.

She is Filipino and I am from the UK.

Hi MovingtoOman,

It is not so much a religious issue, as much as it is social.

While what schaz has stated is indeed legally correct, there are many expatriates who do live together under the same roof without being married.

As long as your neighbours do not report you to the police, or you do not create a ruckus at home and draw unnecessary attention upon yourself, you can stay well together, go out together, spend time together ...
