Muscat: The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (Opaz) announced the provision of cadastral drawing service electronically, so investors can obtain their copy of the drawing immediately upon signing usufruct contracts.
This service is currently applied for some blocks of land in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Sezad) and will cover other blocks afterwards.
Introducing the service of issuing the cadastral drawing, which marks an official document to prove the land usufruct right, comes within the direct electronic land selection service in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, which is provided to investors through the Zone’s digital portal. This new service assists the automation process of investment procedures in a smart way, which significantly serves to accelerate the completion of the investors’ transactions through the one-stop shop.
Commenting on the electronic cadastral drawing issuance service, Dr Said bin Khalifa Al Tuwairshi from the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones said: “By increasing the number of electronic services, provided to investors, Opaz is seeking to enrich its digital transformation plan, which goes in parallel with the relevant government plans and keeps pace with the government’s digital transformation plan.Further, Opaz plan aims to expedite and facilitate the pace of business, organise and simplify it for investors and other beneficiaries on an ongoing basis and contribute to stimulating the business environment and enhancing investment opportunities in the special economic zones and free zones.”
Moreover, the plan of the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (Opaz) also aims to implement this service of issuing cadastral drawings electronically in the other free zones, supervised by Opaz. This endeavour is streamlined with Opaz efforts to maintain continuous development in all the services provided to investors in all zones.
