Oman Opens Visa and Medical Centre (OVMC) in Manila: What Filipino Workers Need to Know?
Oman has opened a new integrated visa and medical centre in Manila, making it easier for Filipino workers applying for jobs in the Sultanate to complete key pre-departure procedures in one location.
The new Oman Visa and Medical Centre brings visa processing and medical examinations together, helping applicants save time and avoid having to visit multiple locations during the work visa process.

Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines
Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, between 10:15am and 5:15pm
Main purpose
Oman work visa and pre-departure procedures
What Services are available at the Manila Centre?
The integrated facility provides several services connected with the Oman work visa process, including:
- Medical examinations
- Biometric fingerprint registration
- Visa-related processing
- Document attestation
- Employment contract attestation
- Other value-added services related to overseas employment.
Who can use the Oman Visa and Medical Centre?
The facility is intended for applicants completing procedures related to Oman work visas, particularly Filipino workers seeking employment in Oman.
Faster and More Transparent Work Visa Processing
The new facility is designed to simplify the process for Filipino workers while improving oversight of overseas recruitment.
According to Oman Post, the integrated system is intended to provide a faster, more efficient and transparent service, while ensuring the secure handling of applicants’ personal information and documents.
The centre also supports efforts to reduce dependence on unregulated intermediaries and strengthen protections for workers and employers. Oman’s Foreign Ministry said the facility allows employers to verify workers’ skills and qualifications against job requirements.
Why the New Oman Visa Centre Matters for Filipino Workers?
For Filipino workers planning to take up employment in Oman, the new centre could make the pre-travel process significantly easier.
Instead of completing important procedures at separate locations, applicants can access multiple services through a single integrated facility. This can help reduce unnecessary travel, improve coordination and make the application process easier to understand.
The initiative also reflects the growing employment and economic links between Oman and the Philippines.
