🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia · Permanent Residency

Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.

Saudi Arabia’s closest sponsor-free long-term residence route is Premium Residency, administered by the Premium Residency Center. It is not ordinary permanent residence for all workers; eligibility depends on the selected product, fees, documentation and approval.

  • Premium Residency is designed for skilled professionals, talents and investors.
  • Products and criteria can differ; check the live Premium Residency Center rules.
  • Ordinary employment residence remains sponsor-linked unless another approved route applies.
