Who Can Own Property Here
Freehold Zone
Non-Qataris can own property outright in designated freehold areas such as The Pearl, Lusail and West Bay. Ownership can support residency when the value meets the published thresholds.
Usufruct Zone (99 Years)
Non-Qataris can hold a usufruct right for up to 99 years in designated areas. It gives the right to use, rent out and benefit from the property, while the land stays in Qatari ownership.
Qatari Ownership
Ownership here is reserved for Qatari nationals and GCC citizens under the rules in force. Everyone can rent, and leases are registered with the municipality.
Thresholds and rules change. Check the latest guidance with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority before you buy.
