Advisory Council gives nod to permanent residency for qualified expatriates
Qatar’s Advisory Council has finally given its nod to the much talked about permanent residency law, for certain qualified expatriates. The Council gave its approval to the draft law on permanent residency for non-Qataris and has decided to submit its recommendations on the matter to the Cabinet.
As per the draft law, His Excellency the Minister of Interior may grant a permanent residency identification (ID) card to a non-Qatari if the person meets the conditions specified in the law, as reported by Gulf Times.
Further, HE the Minister of Interior may also grant this ID to the children of a Qatari woman married to a non-Qatari, as well as those who offered valuable services to the country and people with special capabilities that the country needs.
The decision was taken by the Advisory Council during the course of its regular weekly session, held under the chairmanship of its Speaker HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud.
