Armenia announces new visa-free travel for citizens and residents of Oman
Muscat: Effective July 1, 2025, Armenia will introduce visa-free entry for citizens and residents of Oman and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, as part of a strategic initiative to strengthen economic relations, boost tourism, and facilitate business opportunities between Armenia and the GCC member states. This significant development aims to enhance Armenia's attractiveness as an accessible and welcoming destination within the South Caucasus, particularly appealing to visitors from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. The new visa free policy will apply to all passport holders from GCC member states, enabling travel for tourism, leisure, or business purposes without a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Additionally, individuals holding valid residency permit issued by any of the GCC countries with at least 6 months of validity from the date of entry to Armenia, will also be eligible for visa-free entry, thereby broadening the accessibility for a substantial segment of the GCC expatriate communities. Officials have highlighted the timeliness of this decision, noting the growing interest among GCC nationals and residents in exploring nearby destinations that offer authentic experiences, diverse culture, and natural beauty. With Armenia's rich historical heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culinary scene, the country is well-positioned to attract a growing number of travellers and business visitors from the Gulf region. 'This milestone reflects our dedication to making Armenia more accessible to regional travellers,' said Lusine Gevorgyan, Chairman of the Tourism Committee of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia. 'We look forward to welcoming more guests from the GCC who seek meaningful travel experiences - whether through our ancient monasteries, vibrant food scene, or immersive cultural festivals.' The Tourism Committee of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia anticipates that the visa waiver will further stimulate collaboration with the GCC. The initiative supports Armenia's broader tourism strategy, which includes enhanced air connectivity, improved visitor infrastructure, and dynamic destination marketing across global markets. Armenia previously introduced visa-free travel for UAE citizens in 2017, Qatar citizens in 2019 and Kuwait citizens in 2022 - successful moves that laid the foundation for this expanded regional visa policy.

Will employees pay for visa, hiring costs when resigning during probation in Oman?
Many employees wonder whether they must repay visa or recruitment costs if they resign during their probation period in Oman. The answer is clear under the Omani Labour Law. Speaking exclusively to the Times of Oman, a representative from Mohammed Ibrahim Law Firm, a leading law office in the Sultanate of Oman, explained that under Article 31, employers or recruitment agencies are not allowed to charge any amount to the employee for recruitment. This includes visa fees, hiring costs, medical tests, or any other employment-related expenses. These costs are strictly the employer's responsibility. When it comes to the probation period, 'Article 37 of the Labour Law allows either the employer or the employee to terminate the employment contract during probation, if it is found that it is unsuitable to continue the employment. A minimum of seven days' notice must be given by either party. However, there is no legal requirement for the employee to repay any visa or hiring costs if they decide to resign during this period,' explained Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Zadjali, Founding Partner of Mohammed Ibrahim Law Firm. Another spokesperson from the law firm added that, 'some companies may try to include clauses in employment contracts requiring the employee to pay back visa or recruitment costs if they leave early. However, according to Article 4 of the Labour Law, any clause in the employment contract that contradicts the law is invalid, even if the employee has signed it.' Omani law protects workers from being forced to repay hiring costs under any circumstances, including resignation during probation. Any attempt by employers to recover such expenses from employees is a clear violation of the law. Employees facing such demands should document and report the matter to the Ministry of Labour, as such practices are considered clear violations subject to legal penalties, the expert said. (Mohammed Ibrahim Law Firm ([email protected]), (+968 244 87 600) was established 18 years ago and is serving clients through its offices in Muscat and Sohar, as well as operating on a request basis in other areas. It offers legal representation across a wide range of practice areas that include Labour Law, Corporate, Commercial, Contracts, Banking and Finance, International Trade, Foreign Investment, Insurance, Maritime Law, Construction and Engineering Contracts, International Arbitration, Intellectual Property and more).

Omani market declines amid regional geopolitical tensions
Muscat: The Omani stock market posted a negative performance during the week, declining by 0.78%. Its performance was similar to other markets in the region, with a fall on the last day of trading impacted by the latest geopolitical developments, according to an industry expert. 'This led to a risk-off behaviour, prompting investors to move towards safe-haven assets,' said George Pavel, General Manager at Middle East. This week's performance came after six consecutive weeks of positive recovery in the market, which followed a long period of decline. 'While this week's losses were limited, the escalations in the regional geopolitical sphere indicate potential for continued fear and pressure in the market next week,' said George Pavel. 'Oil prices experienced a strong jump this week, especially following military operations in Iran. While a higher oil price could be beneficial to the economies in the region, geopolitical risks could continue to weigh on stocks,' he added. The downturn was felt across all sectors, with the Industrial sector leading the losses with a 1.44% decline. Significant drops were seen in Al Anwar Ceramic, which plunged 6.09%, and Al Maha Ceramics, which decreased by 4.21%. Gulf Mushroom Products also contributed to the sector's negative performance with a 0.45% fall. Similarly, the Services sector registered a 0.79% loss. Among its constituents, OQ Gas Networks was notably active as one of the week's most traded stocks, closing 1.27% lower. Other decliners included National Gas with a steep 6.45% drop, Asyad Shipping which fell by 1.6%, and Oman Telecom which was down 0.71%. The Financial sector also contributed to the market's negative trend, recording a 0.56% decline. This drop was influenced by a 6.21% fall in Bank Dhofar's shares. Other notable losses in the sector included Oman Emirates, which decreased by 4.05%, and Global Financial Investment, which fell by 0.94%.
