Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Research found no published nationality bar against Vietnamese citizens. Permanent residency in Qatar is governed by the Ministry of Interior and is selective, with a reported annual cap on the number of approvals.
Vietnamese applicants are assessed on the same investment and good standing criteria as other foreign nationals. Confirm the current rules with the Permanent Residency Committee at the Ministry of Interior.
A property or business investment route is associated with permanent residency, while a lower property threshold is linked to a longer investor residence rather than full permanent residency.
Property must sit in government approved freehold or investment zones and be fully owned and registered. Confirm which zones and amounts apply with the official authority.
