Program details

Saudi Arabia's Premium Residency program offers multiple tiers to accommodate different investor profiles. Options include annual renewable permits, permanent residency through lump sum payment, real estate investment, economic investment with job creation, and entrepreneur categories.

A key advantage is freedom from the traditional Kafala sponsorship system. Premium Residency holders can own and operate businesses and purchase property in approved areas without a Saudi sponsor.

The program has gained significant traction, with 40,000+ applications received during 2024-2025 as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy.

Important: There is no citizenship pathway through investment. Saudi citizenship is granted only in exceptional circumstances and through traditional naturalization processes.
