Oman has been ranked as one of the safest countries in the world for expatriates, coming in fourth place for personal safety and ninth place for political stability, according to the expat Insider 2023 survey. In the overall survey ranking of 53 destinations, Oman secured the 12th position. The country excelled in the Expat Essentials Index, where it claimed the third spot, with expats expressing particular satisfaction with the housing situation.
The survey revealed that approximately 74% of expatriates find housing in Oman easily, compared to a global average of 49%. Moreover, 61% of respondents found housing in Oman affordable, as opposed to only 38% globally. Expatriates also reported that living in Oman without speaking the local language(s) was relatively easy, ranking Oman fourth in this aspect.
Another noteworthy aspect was Oman’s performance in the Ease of Settling In Index, where it ranked tenth. An impressive 83% of expatriates stated that locals in Oman were friendly towards foreign residents, surpassing the global average of 65%.
Approximately two out of three expatriates, or 66%, find it easy to develop friendships with locals in Oman, surpassing the global average of 43%.

However, the country boasts excellent infrastructure for cars, securing the fourth position.
