Import & Export in Qatar

Why Qatar

In short, requirements for a Qatar company are QFC and free zone entities allow 100% foreign ownership, mainland LLCs may need a Qatari partner outside approved sectors and registered office in Qatar. Reasons founders choose Qatar include one of the highest gdp per capita in the world, qfc's common-law platform, major infrastructure and lng projects and close flight from the uae. GoldenKey has licensed import & export in Qatar for customers ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
