Qatar is a small Arab state located on the Arabian Peninsula. The country is adjacent to Saudi Arabia and
borders the Persian Gulf. The area of ​Qatar is 11.5 thousand square kilometers, almost the entire territory is
occupied by deserts, and there are no freshwater bodies. A population of fewer than three million lives mainly
in the capital and on the eastern side of the peninsula.
Despite the sparse vegetation and the predominance of the desert landscape, the country has huge reserves
of natural gas and oil. This factor makes Qatar one of the richest countries in the world with the highest GDP
per capita – up to 95 thousand dollars. And the main sectors of the economy are the oil refining,
petrochemical, chemical, and metallurgical industries.

Way of life in the country

Due to climatic conditions and a developed economy, migration and life in Qatar are of great interest to many
citizens from other countries. The high standard of living in Qatar, free medicine and education, security, low
taxes, and high salaries allow the citizens of this country to live comfortably. However, the living conditions of
immigrants differ significantly from the level of indigenous people.

Resident card
People wishing to work in Qatar require a permanent residence visa and a work permit. The employer acts as a
local sponsor for the worker and arranges the necessary meetings to obtain a visa and permit.
In case an employee gets a job in Qatar, they can apply for a residence permit in the country. So you need to
approve a work visa and work permit, as well as undergo a medical examination and fingerprint scanning. The
employer must submit documents to the Ministry of Labor.
Documents for obtaining a residence permit:
·        an application for a residence permit in Arabic and English;
·        a medical certificate;
·        a copy of the commercial registration of the business;
·        a copy of the company’s immigration card;

·        the original of the passport;
