Mustaqel is a state-sponsored visa program that aims to attract freelancers, highly talented individuals, and entrepreneurs from across the world to Qatar. The program facilitates the residency of these individuals by offering tailored visas that cater to their specific needs, thereby diversifying the workforce available to organizations in Qatar.

The program offers three visa types:

• The talent visa offers a 5-year visa, with additional benefits, to highly skilled individuals who have obtained an applicable employment contract in Qatar and meet the minimum skill and experience requirements.
• The entrepreneur visa grants a 5-year visa to business owners upon the submission and approval of their business plan, or evidence that minimum seed funding requirements have been met.
