From Türkiye to Qatar, work and business.
Turkish contractors, traders and professionals have been active in Qatar for decades. Whether you come with an employer or to build your own company, here is the documents-first view of the move.
Documents for working in Qatar
The typical employer-sponsored file: passport, signed employment contract, attested diplomas and professional certificates, medical screening and biometrics. Completing the attestation chain before leaving Türkiye is the single biggest accelerator.
Starting a company
Up to 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, subject to approval; the usual LLC capital is QAR 200,000 and setup typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, with 10% corporate tax on locally sourced profits. Mainland is usually the right base for construction and trading; a branch fits single-contract projects.
Frequently asked
