Summary

Saudi Arabia's unlimited-duration Premium Residency lets approved applicants live in the country without a fixed end date, subject to continuing compliance with its conditions. The payment is a program fee rather than a qualifying business or property investment.

The application includes evidence of financial means, identity, background, health, and lawful immigration status. Ability to pay alone does not secure approval, and the resulting residence is not Saudi citizenship or a promise of citizenship later.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

You must be at least 21 and able to pay the one-time SAR 800,000 fee.

You also need to show that you have enough money to meet the financial requirements and satisfy the passport, background, medical, and legal immigration-status rules. You must continue to meet Premium Residency obligations after approval.

Officials make the final decision. Being able to pay the fee does not guarantee approval.

Check the requirements for residence without an end date
  1. Confirm personal eligibility Meet the age, passport, background, medical, and immigration-status requirements.
  2. Show that you meet the financial rules Provide financial records and evidence that you can pay the one-time fee.
  3. Keep meeting the conditions If approved Follow the Premium Residency requirements after approval.

Residence without a fixed end date still has conditions and does not give Saudi citizenship.

What This Route Allows

If approved, you can live in Saudi Arabia without a fixed end date, subject to keeping your status under the program's rules. Qualifying family members may join you. The program provides the economic rights set out in its regulations and generally lets you enter and leave Saudi Arabia without an ordinary employer-sponsored residence arrangement.

What This Route Is Not

The fee is not a business or property investment. Unlimited-duration Premium Residency does not give Saudi citizenship or guarantee a later citizenship grant. Ongoing conditions still apply, and other Premium Residency options have different rules.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm that you meet the age, financial, and other requirements.
  2. Prepare proof of your finances and ability to pay the one-time fee.
  3. Gather passport, background, medical, and any required immigration-status records.
  4. Apply through the Premium Residency Center and continue meeting the conditions after approval.
