Labour Ministry simplifies worker service transfers during grace period
Muscat: In a continued effort to support labor market stability, the Ministry of Labor (MoL) has announced a streamlined mechanism allowing employers to transfer the services of workers previously registered under work abandonment reports, as part of the ongoing grace period for status rectification. Under this initiative, employers are now able to process service transfers for such workers regardless of whether their work cards are active or expired, as long as there is no existing labor violation on file. Notably, approvals for these transfers will be granted automatically, significantly easing the administrative burden. To take advantage of the measure, employers must submit a service transfer request through the Ministry's electronic system. Once approved, they are required to visit the relevant Labor Welfare division to obtain a notification letter. This document will enable the removal of any related travel bans or alerts recorded with the Royal Oman Police and allow the transfer process to be finalized. Authorities have emphasized that this opportunity is only available until the conclusion of the grace period, urging employers to act promptly to benefit from the facilitation.

Compliance with Omanisation provisions for international companies and institutions not registered in the Sultanate of Oman will be monitored when participating in international tenders after the award and during contract implementation, as part of the local content plan.
