October 18, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

MUSCAT: Oman has restored the citizenship of 11 individuals through a royal decree issued by Sultan Haitham bin Tariq. The decree was published in the country’s Official Gazette on Sunday, October 18, marking a significant move in the Sultanate’s approach to citizenship rights.

The royal decree comes as part of a broader initiative to address issues related to citizenship and national identity. Sultan Haitham’s administration has been keen on fostering a sense of belonging among its citizens, and this restoration is seen as a step towards rectifying past grievances. The identities of the individuals affected by this decree have not been disclosed.

This decision holds considerable implications for the individuals involved, potentially allowing them to reclaim their rights and participate fully in Omani society. It also reflects the Sultanate’s commitment to inclusivity and social cohesion, which are vital for national stability and unity.

Looking ahead, it remains to be seen if further citizenship restorations will occur, as Sultan Haitham’s government continues to navigate the complexities of national identity and citizenship laws. Observers are keenly watching for any additional announcements that may follow this decree.
