Relocating to Oman

16 years ago

Hi - I will be relocating to Muscat to work in late March. I'm a married female, but will be coming alone as my husband is staying in the UK.

I echo some of the questions already asked about things for women to do re: socialising, etc.

But more specifically - is it true that I need a "letter of no objection" from my husband in order to get an Oman driving licence?

Also, as a working woman will I be able to buy alcohol and get a liquor licence? I've read lots of unclear things about women buying alcohol.

Any other useful tips always welcome - like finding somewhere to live!!

Thanks!
