More than 3,200 foreign nationals have been granted Omani citizenship by the Sultanate in the last 10 years, according to government records.

These people were granted citizenship through the signing of 64 Royal Decrees during this period, with the latest of these being Royal Decree No. 115/2020, which was signed on September 1, 2020.

Moreover, the Omani nationality of 660 people was restored, while none have had their citizenship taken away during this period.

Seven people have also been granted the right to maintain their status of dual citizenship over the span of 10 years.

During the reign of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, 50 persons have been naturalised, while an additional 41 people have had their citizenship restored to them through five Royal Decrees.

While 19 were made citizens of the Sultanate in 2019, 2018 saw it conferred on 139 people, including six who had the right to dual Omani-Yemeni citizenship
