Yes, foreigners can buy property in Qatar. Since 2020, Qatar has expanded the list of areas where non-Qataris can own real estate. Eligible buyers can purchase freehold or 99-year leasehold properties in designated zones, including popular areas like The Pearl, West Bay Lagoon, and Lusail City.
Foreign property owners may also qualify for residency permits, depending on the property’s value. For example:
• Property valued at QAR 730,000+ (~USD 200,000): Eligibility for a residency permit.
• Property valued at QAR 3.65M+ (~USD 1M): Eligibility for permanent residency, plus healthcare and education benefits.
