Muscat airport worker information office opens, with staffed service planned for a later phase

In a report published on 29 October 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the opening of an information office in the arrivals route at Muscat International Airport, to help migrant workers understand their rights and obligations and reach the relevant authorities when needed.

According to the report, the project's first stage uses a digital screen displaying content from the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking's website, available in 13 languages, alongside embassy contact information and the committee's hotline.

Direct assistance from a Ministry of Labour employee, and checks of details such as the employer and agreed wage, belong to the second phase. The report does not specify when that phase will begin, so the opening does not establish that a staffed service is already available.

The stated benefit is to provide guidance on arrival, before the employment relationship begins. The report includes no data measuring workers' use of the service so far.
