The State of Qatar has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and a relatively small native population. This situation has led to an influx of foreign nationals and a population boom.

Newcomers and their families are welcome - they bring essential expertise and enrich the country's society. However, as in any other country, the arrival of new residents has to be managed through a series of processes and procedures.

As one of the leading players in the construction of the new knowledge-based society, Qatar Foundation also needs to find additional brains, skills and experience to help it accomplish its mission. To ensure that the process of entering the country and acquiring the necessary permits is as streamlined as possible. Qatar Foundation has a department of specialist staff to guide new employees and students through the process. Naturally, it is in the interests of everyone that those intending to come here to live, work and study familiarize themselves with the requirements at an early stage.
