Discusses the state of direct marketing and what channels are available for companies to use direct marketing.
Last Published: 8/15/2019

Foreign companies are generally not allowed to market their products and services directly.  A local agent is needed to do so, unless the foreign company has an appropriately registered entity in Qatar.  However, in cases where the foreign company is working on a major public project, direct marketing to the contractor is possible.  Direct marketing is also possible through the representational office.
