Officials say the initiative is part of Qatar’s broader economic strategy to diversify its economy, enhance investment inflows, and attract top global talent. Experts highlight that such long-term residency programs in Gulf countries have historically strengthened labor markets, boosted economic activity, and increased investor confidence.

For Pakistani professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors, Qatar’s 10-year visa offers a secure pathway to long-term residence, career advancement, and participation in the country’s growing sectors, including finance, real estate, and technology. Analysts suggest that this move could encourage other Gulf nations to implement similar programs, creating competitive opportunities for Pakistani talent and investors in the region.
