Saudi Premium Residency 2026: Types, Fees and Eligibility Requirements

Saudi Premium Residency is a family of residence products for eligible investors, entrepreneurs, property owners, specialists and other qualifying applicants. Each route has its own threshold, evidence and duration.

The available routes

Products include Special Talent, Gifted, Investor, Entrepreneur, Real Estate Owner, Limited Duration and Unlimited Duration. The right choice depends on the applicant's investment, profession, property, achievements and long-term plans.

What eligibility normally covers

Applicants should expect identity, financial, health and good-conduct checks. Product-specific routes may also require investment evidence, professional recommendations, business performance or qualifying property ownership.

Benefits and limits

Premium Residency can support long-term residence, eligible family members, work and certain ownership or investment activities. It is not Saudi citizenship, and product conditions must continue to be met.

A sensible application sequence

Choose the product first, then prepare only the evidence relevant to that route.

  • Create the official application profile.
  • Upload identity and product-specific evidence.
  • Respond to review requests promptly.
  • Complete the final fee and post-approval requirements.
