Case Example: Kenyan Investor Gains Residency Through Property Ownership in Lusail

A Kenyan businesswoman partnered with Magyar to secure permanent residency in Qatar through real estate investment. She purchased a QAR 4 million apartment in Lusail under her own name. Our legal team obtained Ministry of Interior pre-approval, completed the title transfer, and prepared the entire PR application dossier.

We submitted her file directly under the investor residency track. Within seven weeks, her residency was approved. Her husband and three teenage children were added under the same case. All four received Qatari IDs through a single channel, with no interviews, delays, or middlemen.

The result is a clean, fully compliant path to permanent residency built on legal ground. When will you get started with yours?

Licensed to File from Inside Qatar
