Investors who own homes that enable them to acquire first-class residence cards also have the right to own a single property outside those areas licensed for expatriate ownership.

The ownership of properties by expatriates must be done without showing prejudice to Royal Decree No. 29/2018 and the executive regulations issued under Ministerial Resolution No. 292/2020, which list those areas where expatriates in the Sultanate are prohibited from owning real estate.
