What are now the conditions to obtain residency in Qatar?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Obtaining residency in Qatar a short time ago was a complex process. Investors needed sponsorship from a Qatari business or individual for residency. But now things are much simpler for all those interested in obtaining temporary and permanent residence.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A $200,000 property purchase secures temporary residency for the term of ownership. A $1 million purchase buys the benefits of permanent residency, including free schools and healthcare. Through these changes and the new rules, residency can allow many expats to bring their family, including elderly parents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These situations will naturally create more demand inthe real estate in Qatar<\/a>,<\/span> at a time when the health and economic crisis has affected all businesses globally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What are the areas where properties can be bought for a stay permit?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the issuance of the Council\u2019s Decision Qatar now has 16 usufruct areas with a 99-year term, and nine areas that offer freehold ownership. The usufruct right areas include Al Sadd, Msheireb, Fereej Bin Mahmoud, Al Mirqab Al Jadeed, Al Mansoura, Al Salata, Old Al Ghanim, Umm Ghuwailina, Doha International Airport area, and New Doha. Freehold property areas include The Pearl-Qatar, Administrative District No. 60 and 61 in Al Dafna, Lusail, West Bay, Onaiza, and Al Khor Resort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
