The Cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft law on the regulation of non-Qatari ownership of properties and their use, and referred it to the Advisory Council.
The draft law stipulates that non-Qataris may own properties in Qatar as per conditions specified by a decision of the Cabinet and based on suggestions of the commission for regulating non-Qatari ownership and use of real estate.
In all cases, the right of usufruct granted to a non-Qatari shall not expire with his death and shall be transferred to the heirs unless both parties agree otherwise.
The draft law provisions will apply to land spaces, buildings and residential units, as well as detachment units in residential complexes.
The Cabinet also approved a joint work mechanism for the Ministry of Finance and the Qatar Fund for Development to determine the types of scholarships offered to non-Qatari students through the adoption of the Qatar Scholarship Program.
The Cabinet meeting was chaired by Prime Minister and Minister of Interior HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al Thani.
