SEZ Oman
Free economic zones of Oman: coastal and inland logic
SEZ in Oman is not one registration template, but several different business tools. Some zones work around ports, maritime logistics, re-export and industry on the coast. Others are inland and relate to dry port logistics, IT, industrial cities and access to the Muscat market. The choice should start with the real model: where goods will be stored, whether import or re-export is planned, who pays invoices, which bank will see turnover and how the company explains its connection with Oman.
