Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay — with a source to verify each yourself.
Healthcare
Oman has a well-developed public system (free/low-cost for citizens) plus modern private hospitals concentrated in Muscat; expats typically use private or employer insurance.
Tip: pair with travel-medical + medical-evacuation cover.
Tax on foreign & pension income
Oman imposes no personal income tax, so foreign-source income and pensions received by residents are not taxed locally.
Not tax advice — confirm with a local professional.
English proficiency
English is widely used in business, healthcare and retail in Muscat and among expatriates, less so in rural areas.
