Premium Residency (الإقامة المميزة)

Saudi Arabia's long-term residency program offering qualified foreigners the right to live work and own property without a sponsor.

Saudi Arabia's Premium Residency program introduced as part of Vision 2030 grants qualifying foreign nationals the right to live, work, invest and own property in the Kingdom without the restrictions of traditional Kafala sponsorship. There are two types: Permanent Premium Residency (one-time payment of SAR 800,000) and Renewable Premium Residency (annual fee). Eligibility is based on financial criteria, professional qualifications or investment thresholds. Premium Residency holders can sponsor family members, run businesses and purchase real estate.
