In Ministerial Decision No 608/2013 issued on November 18, H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Abdullah al Bakri, Minister of Manpower, citing Royal Decree 35/2003 on the Labour Law, issued a statement ceasing recruitment of non-Omani workforce in the private sector for six months in three professions - salesperson, sales promoters and purchasing agents. The ministerial order stated that the decision does not apply to establishments rated as ‘excellent' and ‘international'.

However, in both the cases, MoM allows issuance of replacement visas. Both the decisions will come into effect from December 1.
