There are no restrictions on buying domain names generally in Oman, mostly because a .COM domain name can be purchased by anyone with a credit card from any domain name registrar regardless of where the person is based.

However, you cannot purchase .OM domain names online, you have to get them from Omantel, so they will impose any restrictions the TRA issues.

You can know who registered a domain name by using a WHOIS service, example: http://www.whois.sc . You can check details of .OM domain names by using the OMNIC WHOIS service here http://www.omnic.om/onlineUser/WHOISLookup.jsp .

Amazing. Is that domain names generally? How would they know if a resident had bought a domain name outside the country?

Checked the details for .OM registration. Through the website only .com, .gov, .edu, .net, .org, .co, and .med are allowed.

But according to their rules many more are extensions are allowed under .om. Looks like they have to update their website….
