Hey all i hope this post finds you good and well. I have a question if anyone has any knowledge and reply i will be more than thankful. 
Can anyone tell me is there any benefit of having a American passport while applying for Qatar Residents visa?? Or would you still need a company or a family member to be your sponsor??

Unless an individual is a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) national, he or she must be employed by either a Qatari national or an entity registered to undertake business or acquire residency in Qatar. (Law No.21 of 2015, Immigration Law). However, there are now possibilities if you invest heavily in a business or purchase property.

Umar, this is the only soul on the earth who is jealous of your good luck ..... just ignore him or he will accompany you as your shadow on all your future inputs at this site and hate you openly to his heart's fill .... Unfortunately his heart is bottom less ......

Umar, Salaam .... So sorry for the uncivil reply from a blunt and unfortunate soul .... It made me cry today ...... Truly ... A human with any trace of soul won't be that much cruel that too for a guest .... I am still crying, tears are not stopping at all ..... Believe me , yes .

.

This idle and unfortunate soul is here to hurt each and everyone .....

Please , you are welcome here ..... A local sponsor will take your responsibility , give you home, salary, holidays etc .....

Choose a kind heart sponsor and be lucky .....

The rules are the same for everyone irrespective of nationality. What makes you think that American nationals should be given preference over others?
