According to the Expatriate Group Report 2025, Qatar has also made it to the list of safest countries for foreigners to live in. According to the list, Qatar is the 8th safest country in the world for foreigners to live in, and the only country from the Middle East. In addition, Qatar joins Singapore as a non-European country.

The main reasons for Qatar’s ranking

Qatar has the second-lowest crime rate in the world. Qatar has tried to reduce the rate of crimes and violence by implementing precise laws and regulations. This is important for the safety of the public.

Qatar’s stable governance system has helped the country maintain political peace. The absence of political unrest and stable international relations make Qatar a safe country.

Qatar has a low risk of natural disasters. Qatar is prone to earthquakes, floods and cyclones. Although there are dust storms, these are also effectively controlled by the country.

Singapore is one of the safest countries in the world. The other countries on the list are Switzerland, Denmark, Iceland and Slovenia.

This recognition is a testament to Qatar’s status as a global centre of excellence.
