Hola

Q tal

First of it depends on the type of business and what grade of the commercial register the sponser has.

In all cases you have to have :

- Valid Commercial Register and Chamber of commerce and Industry card
- Rent contract
- Muncipality approval ( they have to survey the place)
- Work permit ( in case you need expat. workers)

For some business like Foodsutuff shop you need to have Omani worker only
