The Saudi Green Card Redefining Life, Work, and Investment in the Gulf

Unlock the Kingdom: Your Essential Guide to Saudi Arabia’s Premium Residency

For decades, the dynamic economies of the Gulf have been powered by expatriates, but the path to long-term residency was often complex. Saudi Arabia is changing the game. Moving boldly beyond its Vision 2030, the Kingdom has launched its Premium Residency Programme—a transformative initiative that’s being hailed as the region’s answer to a ‘Green Card’.

This isn’t just another visa; it’s a key to unlocking a new life of stability, opportunity, and unparalleled access in one of the world’s most rapidly evolving nations. If you’ve ever dreamed of building a future in the heart of the Middle East, this is your sign to pay attention.

Saudi Arabia is actively inviting the world’s best and brightest—investors, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, and other top-tier talent—to not just work, but to put down roots and grow with the Kingdom. The programme is designed to attract foreign capital and expertise, reducing the economy’s reliance on oil and fostering a vibrant, diverse society.

So, how does it work? The programme offers two distinct pathways to premium status:

The Permanent Residency (Unlimited): For the investor seeking a legacy. This is granted for a one-time fee of approximately 800,000 Saudi Riyals (roughly USD 213,000). It’s a lifelong commitment from the Kingdom, offering a permanent base for you and your family.
The Annual Residency (Renewable): For the professional testing the waters. This renewable option is valid for one year at a cost of approximately 100,000 Saudi Riyals (roughly USD 27,000), providing immense flexibility.

Why is this a revolutionary step? Here’s what makes it “premium”:

Sponsor-Free Living: Break free from the traditional Kafala (sponsorship) system. You can work, change jobs, and start businesses without being tied to a specific employer.
Own Property with Ease: Gain the right to own real estate and lease property for residential and commercial purposes, a significant advantage in a booming market.
Seamless Travel: Enjoy the freedom to travel in and out of Saudi Arabia without exit/re-entry visas or the need for a sponsor’s permission.
A Family Affair: Sponsor visas for your spouse, children, and even parents, ensuring your loved ones can build a life alongside you.
Drive and Do Business: Hold a driver’s license and run your own company or invest freely in the local economy.

This programme is a clear signal that Saudi Arabia is open for business in a whole new way. It’s an invitation to be at the forefront of historic change, to invest not just capital, but your future.

The sands of the Arabian Peninsula are shifting, creating a landscape of incredible potential. The Premium Residency Programme is your map to navigate it.
