The application is submitted, reviewed and approved. The wife must be outside Oman when the application is submitted, must not hold any other valid Oman entry visa, and her passport must be valid for at least six months; the visa must be used to enter Oman within three months of issuance. The official source does not state the rights granted, the duration of the status or any path to independent or longer-term status.
