What is an ITC?
Own Freehold in Oman's ITC Zones
Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs) are the designated zones where non-Omanis can own property outright, with a freehold title deed registered at the Ministry of Housing.
Every project on this site sits in an ITC or an approved freehold area, so whether you buy off-plan or ready, you own it in full and can live in it, rent it out, resell it or pass it on.
Full freehold ownership
Every project here sits in an ITC or approved freehold zone. You receive a registered title deed in your name, with the right to live in, rent, resell or inherit the property.
Residency for your family
Owning an ITC property qualifies you, your spouse, children and parents for Oman residency, renewable for as long as you hold the title. No employer or sponsor required.
Zero tax on your returns
Oman has no personal income tax, no property tax and no capital gains tax. Rental income and resale profit stay with you.
Off-plan or ready to move
Buy early on a developer payment plan and pay in stages to handover, or choose a completed home in the same community through resale.
Every zone in one place
Compare communities across Muscat, Salalah, Duqm, Sohar and Barka side by side, with starting prices and handover dates.
Buy from anywhere
Reserve, pay and register from abroad with a power of attorney. Our Muscat team handles viewings, developer paperwork and Ministry of Housing registration for you.

How buying works
From First Enquiry to Title Deed
Buying off-plan in an ITC follows the same four stages, whichever project you choose.
- 01
Shortlist
Tell us your budget, the type of home and why you are buying. An advisor calls you with the projects that match, with prices, payment plans and handover dates.
- 02
Reserve with the developer
Choose your unit and reserve it directly with the developer. We guide you through the paperwork, in Muscat or from abroad.
- 03
Pay in stages to handover
Follow the developer's payment plan while the project is built, or pay in full if you choose a ready home.
- 04
Title deed and residency
Your title deed is registered at the Ministry of Housing in your name, and you can then apply for Oman residency.

Why Vista Oman?
Four pillars that set us apart from every other agency in Oman.
Learn More About Vista OmanWe Know the Market
Our team brings genuine local insight to every property decision. Born and raised in Oman and backed by hands-on experience in the rental market, we understand the communities, demand, pricing, and lifestyle factors that matter beyond what you see on a listing. We don’t just sell properties, we understand how the local market actually works.
Every Freehold Project. One Place.
We list every freehold project in Oman without exception, giving our clients access to the full market rather than a limited selection. That means you can compare every opportunity and choose what genuinely suits you, not just what one agent happens to have available. With our market knowledge, we also understand the track record and reputation of the developers behind each project, helping you make a more informed and confident decision.
Trust Over Transactions
We believe real estate should be built on trust, transparency, and long-term relationships, not sales targets. While others may focus on how many properties they can sell, we focus on making sure every client is genuinely satisfied with their decision. Our greatest measure of success is when a client comes back to us, or refers someone they care about.
Advice That Goes Beyond the Sale
Our advice is completely free and goes far beyond choosing a property. We help investors understand freehold regulations, project details, service charges, community dynamics, rental demand, and the practical factors that can impact their investment. With in-depth knowledge of each community and project, we give you the information you need to make a decision with confidence, without pressure to buy.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What buyers ask us most about owning freehold in Oman's ITCs. Rules can change, so we confirm the details for your project before you commit.
Download Investor's GuideWhat is an ITC in Oman?
An Integrated Tourism Complex is a government-designated development zone where non-Omanis can own property on a freehold basis. Al Mouj, Muscat Hills, Muscat Bay, Jebel Sifah, Yiti, Sultan Haitham City and Hawana Salalah are all ITCs. Outside these zones, foreign ownership is limited.
Can expats and foreigners buy property in Oman?
Yes. Any nationality can buy in an ITC, whether you live in Oman, elsewhere in the GCC or overseas. You receive a freehold title deed registered with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, with full rights to live in, rent, resell or inherit the property.
Do I get Oman residency if I buy an ITC property?
Yes. If the property value is more than 50,000 OMR, residency is granted to the buyer and first-degree family members, with no age limit for children living with them. If the value is 50,000 OMR or less, residency is for the buyer only.
Does the residency include my family?
For properties above 50,000 OMR, residency covers the buyer and first-degree family members, with no age limit for children living with them.
Can I buy off-plan in an ITC, and when does residency start?
Yes. Most ITC projects launch off-plan with staged payment plans through to handover. Residency is issued once the title deed is registered, which depends on the developer and the payment stage reached, so ask us about the timeline for the project you are considering.
Can I rent out or resell my ITC property?
Yes. Freehold ownership gives you the right to rent to tenants, sell to any buyer of any nationality, or transfer to heirs. Ready resale units within ITCs are listed on our resale page.
Which is right for me, off-plan or ready?
Off-plan gets you launch pricing and a payment plan spread over construction. Ready or resale gets you keys, rental income and residency now. Many buyers compare both within the same community; we can show you the numbers side by side.
