Omar bin Laden, son of the late Osama bin Laden, lived in the Normandy region of northern France until 2023. He was a painter and resided in the town of Domfront-en-Poiraie. However, French authorities revoked his residency permit in 2023 and ordered him to leave the country due to social media posts he made that were said to glorify terrorism. Since then, Omar bin Laden has been banned permanently from returning to France. Following his departure from France, he is reported to have been living in Qatar, where he had lived before moving to France. In summary, as of 2025, Omar bin Laden lives in Qatar after being forced to leave France in 2023 and receiving a permanent ban on reentry due to his social media activity related to terrorism advocacy.
