Muscat and Oman (now Oman)

Muscat and Oman (now Oman) - flag

British Nationality could be obtained through your birth, or through the birth of any one of your parents or grandparents, in Oman. This arises because of Britain's relationship with Muscat and Oman and Britain's Colonial history.

To determine what form of British Nationality you might have, an analysis of your family's history must be done, and then applying it to the Nationality laws of Oman that have been passed over the years.

STATUS OF OMAN (previously Muscat & Oman)

From 22.07.1840 up until 31.12.1966, the Crown acquired extra-territorial jurisdiction over Muscat and Oman. Gwadur (on the south coast of what is now Pakistan) was included in this but only up until 07.09.1958.

From 01.01.1967, Oman became a foreign country.

On 30.11.1967, the Kuria Maria Islands (formerly part of the Aden Colony) acceded to Oman.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
