Invest in Qatar

As per Qatar's business laws, a foreign investor can only start a business in Qatar if they have at least one Qatari partner and meet the minimum share capital requirement. A 72-hour business visa is issued on arrival and is used for short business visits. Qatar has a stable political and economic environment, which makes it an attractive destination for foreign investors. The government provides various incentives and support for businesses, including tax exemptions, streamlined bureaucracy, and access to funding. Foreigners in Qatar can establish businesses through various legal entities, such as With Limited Liability (WLL), Branch Office or Representative Office.

To get a visa, you will need to have an employment contract in place, which has been approved by the Ministry of Labor. You need to exclusively work for the company during the period in question and leave the country once the job has been completed. Once approved, the work visa allows Indians to stay in Qatar for up to two years and can be renewed each year thereafter. It is important to note that not all professions are eligible for the work visa in Qatar,

Income Tax in Qatar is imposed based on the income source, with a few specific exemptions. Generally, Qatar-sourced income earned by individuals or resident corporate entities is subject to a 10% income tax rate. Qatar imposes no income tax on its residents, including that which is earned outside of the country. Qatar is considered a tax-free country for expats. Taxable income generally is subject to a flat (CIT) rate of 10%, with certain exceptions available.
