Muscat Municipality Reorganizes Controls for Mobile Vending Activates
Attempting to organize and support the business activities of mobile vendors, and in accordance with the regulations and laws of the municipality that ensure the preservation of the urban appearance, Muscat Municipality has reorganized mobile vending controls with a number of new panels and requirements, so to ensure that these businesses are carried out within a legal and healthy framework that ensures compliance with the proper conditions and procedures for such activities and for the safety of the public.
According to the regulation, only Omanis can engage in this business, and it is prohibited to employ expat workers all over Muscat Governorate. For people wishing to engage in mobile vending business must apply for an initial approval for the required activity, and to commit not to practice it without obtaining a final approval from the municipality located in the requested wilayah. All licensed vendors must adhere to the stipulated health requirements while carrying out these activities.
Therefore, Muscat Municipality invites all mobile vendors to rush to reconcile their conditions in accordance with the health controls and requirements stipulated in the ministerial decision No. 241/2016 issued by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, which relates to the issuance of the regulation of the organization of mobile vendors, and to comply with the provisions of Muscat Municipality resolutions no. (185/2017) and administrative resolution no. (219/2019), within a period not exceeding one month from the date of issuing this announcement.
