Eligibility for Lebanese nationals

Qatar does not restrict its property linked residence routes by nationality, so Lebanese nationals can apply on the standard basis. Applicants must show a clean police record, pass a medical check in Qatar, hold valid health insurance and prove a lawful source of funds.

Confirm the current eligibility detail with the Ministry of Interior before you act.

Routes

Permanent residence is linked to property purchased in a government designated freehold zone. Under Law No. 10 of 2018, buying property at or above a set value can make an investor eligible for permanent residency.

Qatar has also introduced lower value property routes that grant renewable residency rather than permanent residency. Verify which route applies and its current threshold with the official authority.

Timeline

Title deed and linked residency processing is coordinated between the Ministries of Interior and Justice and the relevant agencies. Confirm the current expected timeline with the authority.

Costs

Permanent residency has been linked to property worth at least QAR 3,650,000, around US$1,000,000, in a designated zone. Lower value property has supported renewable residency rather than permanent status. The investor must be present in Qatar for at least 90 days a year to keep the permit valid. See the table and verify every figure with the authority.

What it unlocks

Permanent residence in Qatar can carry rights that ordinary work residence does not, within the limits set by law. Qatar does not levy personal income tax on individuals, though every situation differs and should be checked with a professional. This is a residence route and not a citizenship programme.
