Frequently asked questions
How does Oman compare with a UAE free zone?
Just as important, each serves different markets. GoldenKey usually recommends the UAE as the operating base and Oman where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
What are the annual obligations for a Oman company?
Put simply, annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Do I need to travel to Oman to incorporate?
In most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Oman require a video or in-person meeting.
Can my UAE company own the Oman company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
