OmanCitizens of several countries planning to move to Oman will see a change in document certification regulations.

These changes are a result of Oman joining the Hague Apostille Convention in late January.  Under the convention, official documents issued in Oman can now be certified, or apostilled, for legal use in all other participating countries.

This news benefits the large South Asian expatriate community in Oman that is now able to use Indian documents more easily.
