Overview

Qatar Development Bank’s Talent Community Program offers temporary residency and ecosystem access for eligible founders, innovators, and specialized talent connected to QDB and its partners. Its Startup Qatar, Builder, and Explorer tracks serve different company and participation circumstances. Accommodation and renewal conditions are track-specific. This route is separate from the announced ten-year entrepreneur residency and is not a universal immigration benefit for every startup founder.

Who it is for

Startup Qatar track: beneficiaries of the Startup Qatar Investment Program. Builder track: startups in ecosystem partner portfolios, registered in Qatar with an active commercial registration. Explorer track: entrepreneurs enrolled in active QDB and partner programs. Each track has distinct eligibility and renewal requirements.
