Qatar's Cabinet has approved for permanent residency
Qatar's Cabinet has approved for permanent
residency to some non-citizens, marking a partial shift from its reliance on
its longstanding visa-sponsorship system.
The energy-rich Gulf nation said in a statement that the residency permits could be granted to children of Qatari women married to foreigners, people who "offered valuable services to the country'' and those with special skills. As in many Arab countries, a Qatari child's citizenship is granted based on the father's nationality.
The residency permit gives holders similar rights as
Qataris in terms of property ownership and access to generous education and
health care services.
Qatar's native population is far surpassed by foreigners
holding fixed-term residency permits typically tied to a sponsoring employer.
