Recruit Store Helpers from India to Duqm SEZ
Mobilizing a workforce of certified, deployment-ready store helpers from India to Duqm SEZ is critical for keeping local organized retail stockrooms and supermarket receiving yards operating at peak efficiency. Rather than relying on local visa-transfer candidate pools who may lack specific experience, Aegis Krew sources pre-screened talent directly from India's key industrial corridors (specifically out of Patna, Lucknow, and Coimbatore). Every candidate completes a rigorous screening program focused on inventory unpacking, barcode labeling, and stockroom safety standards and passes technical validation checks. Once your company issues the demand letter and secures MOM visa blocks, our team manages the entire GAMCA medical screening, visa stamping, and POE emigration registration, delivering a complete, compliant batch of workers directly to your Duqm SEZ site in approximately 26 days.
Compliance
Fully aligned with the MOM regulatory framework. Sourcing requires signed demand letters, power of attorney mandates, and official quota allocation from the employer. Fleet workers are pre-cleared for ROP (Royal Oman Police) driving licence recognition and Oman-specific road safety orientation. Special economic zone guidelines apply: Duqm Special Economic Zone is governed by the Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (SEZAD) — one of the largest SEZs in the Middle East, covering refinery, port, logistics, and dry dock operations. In addition to MOM national labor clearances, employers here require SEZAD business registration confirmation. The extended deployment window reflects Duqm's distance from Muscat and the additional site-readiness documentation required for SEZ-specific workforce onboarding..
Deployment Timeline
Batch deployment is completed within a predictable 26-day window from the date of visa approval and emigration clearance. Oman Ministry of Manpower (MOM) quota approval and work permit processing are coordinated before worker dispatch.

Process
How Deployment Works
Step 01
Issue Demand Letter & Visas
Submit a signed demand letter specifying store helper headcount, contract duration, wage structure, and accommodation provision, alongside sponsored block visas. MOM quota verification and Govt. of India emigration approval are initiated on Day 1.
Step 02
Sourcing & Pre-Screening
Candidates are mobilized from our primary Patna, Lucknow, and Coimbatore corridors. Sourcing is verified through technical screening and practical trade tests, including barcode label gun testing, item categorization trials, and safe lifting orientation, to ensure candidates meet GCC operational expectations before final shortlisting.
Step 03
Departure & Arrival in Duqm SEZ
GAMCA medical clearance, police certificate, visa stamp, and pre-departure orientation are coordinated and tracked against your go-live date. Workers depart as a batch and arrive in Duqm SEZ ready for Day 1 induction - not staggered across individual days or weeks.
