Oman: OPAZ simplifies procedures to enhance investor services

Oman, 25 March, 2025 : Oman’s Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) has streamlined investor services by unifying procedures, allowing businesses to operate seamlessly across all zones under its supervision. This initiative enables investors to access incentives and facilities through a single registration, reducing administrative burdens and boosting investment.

Dr. Said bin Khalifa Al Quraini, Director General of Investment Development at OPAZ, highlighted that the move standardizes service procedures and fees, enhancing the investment environment and encouraging business expansion in economic zones, free zones, and industrial cities.

The One-Stop Shop platform allows both local and international investors to submit applications, register businesses, and obtain licenses electronically. The new system eliminates the need for separate registrations for each zone, providing greater flexibility and cost savings.

By integrating commercial registration procedures, OPAZ has improved data collection on economic activities, supporting future development plans. The authority remains committed to attracting investments, ensuring transparency, and promoting good governance.

With the One-Stop Shop, investors can now select land and complete business licensing within a day, accelerating economic growth and sustainable development across Oman.
