Default Oman puts temporary stop on expat visa for ten professions

Well, the thread title says it all really ...

Breaking: Oman to temporarily stop issuing expat visas for 10 professions - Times Of Oman

Do they honestly believe that they have the home-grown expertise to fill any vacancies?

I'm working in Oman for a couple of weeks and apparently Omani's are the only ones allowed to drive minibuses and water tankers here, presumably driving being something that they can get right most of the time.

I’d wager on Oman the focus is on getting it right 2 days out of 7.
