Removal of NOC in the next few weeks

The plan to remove the No Objection Certificate (NOC) system in Oman as early next year will bring a significant development in labour policy. This is according to Foreign Minister His Excellency Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi who speaks at the 16th IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.

Speaking at the 16th IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain on Saturday, Sayyid Badr said removing the age-old NOC policy is part of Oman’s 2040 vision that will open-up the Sultanate’s economy. “A significant development in labour policy which in the next few weeks will include the abolishment of the No Objection Certificates system,” he said.
