Egypt warns citizens against fake Oman job offers using tourist visas

## Embassy Alert

The Egyptian embassy in Muscat has cautioned its citizens about fraudulent job offers in Oman. Scammers, including some tourism companies, are reportedly luring Egyptians with promises of employment, requiring them to enter Oman on tourist visas in exchange for money.

## Visa Regulations

Omani authorities have recently implemented new visa rules. Tourist visas can no longer be converted into employment visas. Individuals who secure legitimate jobs must exit Oman and re-enter with a proper work visa based on a legal contract.

## Consequences of Overstaying

The embassy emphasized that overstaying a tourist visa in Oman can result in daily fines, potentially reaching up to RO500. Egyptians are urged to verify job offers before making any payments or travel arrangements.

## Travel Requirements

Visitors to Oman on tourist visas must adhere to entry requirements, including having a confirmed return ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds for their stay.

## Protecting Citizens

This warning aims to safeguard Egyptian nationals traveling to or residing in Oman from falling victim to these fraudulent schemes.
