Private Office · Oman · By application
Oman, for the few who understand it first.
We advise a deliberately small circle of private investors and family offices on Oman. If we accept your mandate, it receives a principal’s full attention. If we decline, we will tell you why.

Whom we accept
Two kinds of client. One standard.
Private investors and family offices, by application. Every accepted mandate is led by a principal, and we cap how many we hold.
For individuals and their families
- A residence or second home on the Omani coast, chosen for how you will live in it
- Owner or 10-year Golden residency for you and your family
- Off-market access to the best units before public release
- One point of contact from first visit to handover
For single and multi-family offices
- Allocation briefings for investment committees, with yield, IRR and exit cases
- Multi-unit and land positions in Muscat and the Duqm economic zone
- Company ownership, title and residency coordinated with your advisers
- Ongoing stewardship: leasing, reporting and portfolio review
Why Oman, why now
The Gulf’s quiet opportunity.
Space, stability and a policy agenda aimed at long-term capital. Oman offers Gulf exposure without concentrating everything in Dubai.
Investment grade, stable outlook
All three major agencies now rate Oman investment grade, and the market is shifting from speculation to quality, income-producing assets.
Ownership opened in 2006
Royal Decree 12/2006 allows property to be registered to non-Omanis, companies and legal entities, subject to regulations. That matters for family office structures.
Residency built for families
Eligible owners can hold a sponsor-free owner permit, and investments from OMR 200,000 qualify for 10-year Golden residency.
Vision 2040 in motion
Integrated Tourism Complexes, Sultan Haitham City and the Duqm Special Economic Zone are reshaping where value will sit over the next decade.
Admission
The standard we hold.
We review every application against six criteria. They protect the attention our clients receive, and they are not negotiable.
- Allocation
A minimum allocation of OMR 200,000 to Oman.
- Horizon
Seven years or more. We do not advise on short-term flips.
- Source of funds
Fully verifiable, with standard due diligence completed before any briefing.
- Direct relationship
We work with the principal or their family office directly, never through a chain of intermediaries.
- Understanding first
Every client completes a full briefing before seeing a single property.
- Capacity
We accept a limited number of new mandates each year. When we are full, we say so.
Most applications do not meet these criteria. That is how we keep our attention on the clients who do.
For off-plan purchases, payments go straight to the developer’s escrow account, and title is registered in your name or your company’s. Your capital never passes through us.
Our fee is paid by the developer, not by you.
The LaneTwelve method
Understand first. Invest later.
Four stages, in this order, for every client. Nothing is offered until we understand what you need the asset to do.
Understand
A private briefing on your objectives, horizon, family and tax position, and the risks specific to Oman.
Curate
A short list of vetted assets and developers, with on-the-ground due diligence and clear return cases.
Secure
Negotiation, reservation, title and residency handled with your lawyers, in London or Muscat. Your capital never passes through us.
Steward
Leasing, management and annual reviews so the position keeps working for the next generation.
Mandates we hold
Where our clients are positioned.
Coastal residences
Freehold villas and apartments within Integrated Tourism Complexes in Muscat, with golf, marina and hotel-managed options.

Early-phase positions in Oman’s new planned city, where LaneTwelve is an award-winning advisory for Phase 1.
Early phaseDuqm strategic holdings
Positions around the Special Economic Zone, port and industrial growth, for clients with a longer horizon.
Long horizonFamily residency
An acquisition sized to secure a home and 10-year Golden residency for one family across generations.

Where Oman met London’s investors.
At Live Oman London 2026, our principal briefed private investors and family offices on where Oman is heading, and where it is not. The conversations continue privately.

Your personal O1-Strategy 21 plan.
Not available on request. O1-Strategy 21 is LaneTwelve’s own framework for Oman, prepared by a principal for each accepted client. It is never published, sold or shared.
- Where in Oman fits your objective, and where it does not
- Residency, ownership and holding structure options
- Expected yield, capital growth and exit routes for each option
- The risks of investing without understanding, and how we manage them
How we work
Three commitments.
Discretion
Your name, capital and intentions stay between you and one principal. We do not publish clients, and we sign NDAs as standard.
Candour
We tell you what can go wrong in Oman before we show you anything to buy. Some briefings end with a recommendation to wait.
Continuity
Built on fifty years of family values, to look after families over decades, not single transactions.
A letter from the Principal
A letter from the Principal
For fifty years, my mother built a property business. She taught me that trust is earned slowly and lost quickly, and that the right decision is usually the patient one.
I learned the rest the hard way. Some of my early investments failed. Some of my ventures did not survive. Each one taught me to recognise what others miss: the moment a market is about to open, before the world arrives.
That is why we have worked in Oman since 2012. And that is why Private Office accepts so few. We bring fifty years of values and a hard-won eye for early opportunity to a small number of families, and we give each one our full attention.

Questions
Before you invest in Oman.
Why do you decline most applicants?
We only take mandates we can give a principal’s full attention, for as long as the client holds assets in Oman. Applications outside our criteria on allocation, horizon or verifiable funds are declined, with a short explanation.
How do I apply?
Submit the application on this page. A principal reviews it personally and replies within five working days. If accepted, your first step is a confidential online briefing.
Can foreign investors own property in Oman?
Yes. Foreign buyers can hold freehold or long-term usufruct property in licensed Integrated Tourism Complexes. Royal Decree 12/2006 also allows registration in the names of non-Omanis, companies and legal entities, subject to regulations. What you can own still depends on the project, its licence and the title type.
Does buying property give my family residency?
Eligible owners can apply for a sponsor-free owner residence permit that lasts while they own the unit and ends if the title is transferred. The 10-year Golden residency starts from OMR 200,000 of qualifying investment and covers spouse, children and parents. Property does not lead to citizenship.
Where is my money paid?
For off-plan purchases, payments go straight to the developer’s escrow account, never to LaneTwelve. Title is registered in your name or your company’s.
How does LaneTwelve Private Office get paid?
Our fee is paid by the developer, not by you.
Do you work with family offices and their advisers?
Yes. We prepare investment committee papers, coordinate with your legal and tax advisers, and can structure multi-asset positions held through a company.
What does the O1-Strategy 21 plan include?
A personalised plan covering location, structure, residency, expected returns and the specific risks of entering Oman, prepared by a principal and presented privately.
Where do briefings take place?
Online, by private video call, wherever you are in the world. Site visits in Oman are arranged and accompanied by our team.

What we collect
Only what you enter in the application form: your name, email, phone, country, applicant type, allocation range, holding horizon, timing, objectives and any note.

Sharing and storage
We never sell your details. We share them only where your mandate needs it, for example with our Muscat partner office or your chosen legal advisers, with appropriate safeguards. We keep application details only as long as needed to decide and reply, and longer only if you become a client or the law requires it.
