About the Qatar passport
The Qatar passport ranks #40 of 200 globally, ahead of 80% of the world's ranked passports. Qatar citizenship is inheritable across generations, meaning children born to Qatar citizens abroad may be eligible to claim citizenship by descent.
Passport context
Qatar applies a top marginal income tax rate of 0% and a capital gains tax rate of 0%. The country operates a zero tax regime, with no income tax liability for residents. For expatriates, the absence of income tax makes Qatar one of the more tax-efficient jurisdictions globally.
