Comparable unit types in Oman's Integrated Tourism Complexes typically run 30\u201350% cheaper than equivalent Dubai freehold properties, though Dubai offers deeper inventory and a wider range of price tiers overall.<\/p>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details>\n      <summary>Can foreigners buy freehold property in Oman?<\/summary>\n      <p>Yes, but only within designated Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs) such as Al Mouj, Muscat Hills, Muscat Bay, Jebel Sifah, and AIDA. Outside these zones, foreign freehold ownership is generally restricted.<\/p>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details>\n      <summary>What is the Golden Visa threshold for Dubai property?<\/summary>\n      <p>AED 2,000,000 or more in unencumbered freehold property qualifies for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. A lower AED 750,000 threshold supports a 2-year renewable investor visa.<\/p>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details>\n      <summary>What is the residency threshold for Oman property investment?<\/summary>\n      <p>Oman's Golden Residency runs two tiers: OMR 250,000 (~USD 650,000) for a 5-year renewable permit, and OMR 500,000 (~USD 1.3 million) for a 10-year renewable permit. Some 2026 reporting cites a reduced OMR 200,000 figure \u2014 we verify the applicable threshold against Invest Oman records at the time of application.
