Premium Residency in Saudi Arabia

Premium Residency in Saudi Arabia

Many investors and business owners want to live in Saudi Arabia without depending on a local sponsor. We explain how Premium Residency works and help you through the application.

What Premium Residency is

Saudi Premium Residency is a residency programme that lets eligible foreigners live in the Kingdom without a local sponsor. It is handled by the Premium Residency Center and is separate from a normal work or business iqama.

Who it is for

The programme has several categories, for example for investors, entrepreneurs, real estate owners and people with special talents. Which category suits you depends on your profile, so we start by reviewing your situation.

What it can give you

Depending on the category, the benefits can include living and working in Saudi Arabia, bringing family members, and running or investing in a business. The exact rights depend on the category and current rules.

How we help

We review which category may fit you, explain the requirements, help you prepare the documents and follow the application with you.

If you are setting up a company, we can plan your licence, company registration and residency together, so the steps happen in the right order.
