    Same process should be implemented for issuing work visas. Infact this issue should also have been discussed and finalised as Oman has increased the work visa age for employment purposes to 65 years. Oman should also exhort other GCC countries too to follow suit after Covid induced pandemic. It will boost up the economy of all the GCC countries and create employment opportunities too.
