==Historical Background==
==Immigration into Oman==
*From the late 17th century, the Omani Sultanate was a powerful empire, vying with the Portuguese Empire and the British Empire for influence in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. At its peak in the 19th century, Omani influence or control extended across the Strait of Hormuz to modern-day Iran and Pakistan, and as far south as Zanzibar.
<ref>"Oman", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman, accessed August 2021.</ref>
*The '''Portuguese''' arrived in Oman and occupied Muscat for a 143-year period, from 1507 to 1650. In need of an outpost to protect their sea lanes, the Portuguese built up and fortified the city, where remnants of their Portuguese architectural style still exist. Later, several more Omani cities were colonized in the early 16th century by the Portuguese, to control the entrances of the Persian Gulf and trade in the region as part of a web of fortresses in the region, from Basra to Hormuz.
*The Omanis over time established a maritime empire that pursued the Portuguese and expelled them from all their possessions in East Africa north of Mozambique, which were then incorporated into the Omani domains.
*The '''British empire''' was keen to dominate southeast Arabia to stifle the growing power of other European states and to curb the Omani maritime power that grew during the 17th century. The British empire over time, starting from the late 18th century, began to establish a series of treaties with the sultans with the objective of advancing British political and economic interest in Muscat, while granting the sultans military protection.
*When its power declined in the 20th century, the sultanate '''came under the influence of the United Kingdom'''.
*By the end of the 19th century, and with the loss of its African dominions and its revenues, British influence increased to the point that '''the sultans became heavily dependent on British loans and signed declarations to consult the British government on all important matters.''' For over 300 years, the relations built between the two empires were based on mutual benefits. <ref>"Oman", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman, accessed August 2021.</ref>
==Immigration Into Oman==
*Because of the combination of a relatively small local Omani population and a fast-growing oil-driven economy, '''Oman has attracted many migrants'''.
*At the 2014 census the total expatriate population was 1,789,000 or 43.7% of the population. Most migrants are males from '''India''' (465,660 for both sexes), '''Bangladesh''' (107,125) or '''Pakistan''' (84,658). Female migrant workers are mainly from '''Indonesia''' (25,300), the '''Philippines''' (15,651) or '''Sri Lanka''' (10,178). Migrants from Arab countries account for 68,986 migrants ('''Egypt''' 29,877, '''Jordan''' 7,403, '''Sudan''' 6,867, '''UAE''' 6,426, '''Iraq''' 4,159, '''Saudi Arabia''' 725, '''Bahrain''' 388, '''Qatar''' 168, other 12,683) and other Asian countries for 12,939 migrants. There were 8,541 migrants from Europe, 1,540 from the '''United States''' and 15,565 from other countries.<ref>"Demographics of Oman", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Oman#Ethnic_groups, accessed 6 August 2021.</ref>
