About 37 expats in Oman have been granted citizenship under the royal decree issued by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman.
This is in addition to the dual nationality granted to six Yemenis. Omani nationality of 41 people was also restored.
"After reviewing the statutes of the State issued by Royal Decree No. 96/101 and the Omani Nationality Law issued by Royal Decree No. 38/2014, and in accordance with what is required by the public interest, we have stipulated the following, Omani nationality shall be returned for all those listed in the attached list," Times of Oman quoted the Royal Decree article.
Royal Decree number 36/2018 stated, "Omani citizenship shall be granted to all those whose names appear in the attached list and are authorised to combine Omani and Yemeni nationality."
"These decrees shall be published in the Official Gazette and shall come into effect from the date of its issuance," the decree added.
