Qatar permanent residency for foreigners who own designated real estate valued at QAR 3,650,000+ (~USD 1M), with spouse and children under 18 included.
Qatar's Real Estate Investor Permanent Residence Permit, established under Law No. 10 of 2018, was the GCC's first formal PR framework. It decouples residence from employer sponsorship and ties it to a substantial property investment.
Applicants must own property worth at least QAR 3,650,000 (~USD 1M) in a designated freehold or leasehold zone such as The Pearl, Lusail, or West Bay Lagoon. The MOI Permanent Residence Card Granting Committee issues the card; it is renewable, capped at roughly 100 grants per year, and extends residence, healthcare, and education rights to the spouse and children under 18.
This visa is ideal for high-net-worth investors seeking a tax-neutral Gulf base with long-term residency independent of any employer, and the ability to bring immediate family under the same status while maintaining the qualifying property.
