Dear Customer,
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that according the Omani Law, the employer can’t take the worker’s passport, so you can claim for it, and if they refused then you can file a complaint in the labor office to prove the violation, as it is just allowed to the governmental companies to take the passport with legal reason, otherwise it is legal violation.
However, the law permits that the passport be held at any government department affiliated to the Ministry of Interior, with the legal justification for the reservation. Otherwise, it is considered illegal. This is contrary to the employers in the private sector who are prohibited from holding their workers' passports
