Summary

Owners or holders of accepted rights in qualifying residential property can seek Saudi residence through real-estate Premium Residency. The application needs more than a purchase price: the authority's rules cover valuation, ownership documents, financing, and the property's condition.

The residence remains tied to retaining the qualifying property rights and satisfying the general Premium Residency conditions. Check how a sale, financing change, or loss of those rights would affect the permit before changing the property arrangement.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

The property must be residential and worth at least SAR 4 million. You must own it or acquire ownership or another property right that the program accepts.

Confirm the rules for ownership records, an official valuation, financing, and the property's condition. You must keep the qualifying ownership or rights for as long as your residence depends on them.

The general Premium Residency requirements also apply. Officials make the final decision; a quick check cannot confirm approval.
