Turn Your Property Investment into a Lifetime Benefit
Did you know that buying a home in Riyadh or Jeddah can now grant you legal residency in the Kingdom? Under the Real Estate Owner Residency pathway, a property investment of SAR 4 million is your key to living in Saudi Arabia without a sponsor.
This track is one of the most popular options within the Saudi Premium Residency program because it ties your residency directly to your asset. As long as you own the property, you hold the residency.
The Golden Rule: SAR 4 Million
To qualify for this specific residency, your investment must meet strict criteria set by the Premium Residency Center. It is not just about the price tag; it is about the type of property.
The Core Requirements:
- Minimum Value: The property (or portfolio of properties) must be worth at least SAR 4,000,000.
- Condition: It must be a developed residential unit (e.g., a villa, apartment, or townhouse). Undeveloped land does not qualify.
- Ownership Status: The property must be mortgage-free. You must own the title deed fully, without bank financing.
- Valuation: The value is not decided by the seller. It must be appraised by a licensed valuer accredited by TAQEEM (Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers).
Who Can Apply? (General Eligibility)
Before you start house hunting, ensure you meet the baseline criteria for all Premium Residency applicants:
- Age: You must be at least 21 years old.
- Clean Record: You must provide a valid criminal record certificate verifying you are free of precedents.
- Health: A medical report confirming you are free from communicable diseases.
- Solvency: Proof that you have the financial stability to support yourself and your dependents while living in KSA.
Not Buying Property? Compare Your Options
If tying up capital in real estate isn’t your strategy, Saudi Arabia offers other pathways to residency. Here is how they compare:
| Residency Type | Investment / Cost | Key Benefit |
| Unlimited Duration | SAR 800,000 (One-time fee) | Permanent residency without needing to invest in a business or property. |
| Investor Residency | SAR 7 Million | Grants permanent residency if you create 10 jobs within 2 years. |
| Entrepreneur (Cat. 2) | SAR 15 Million | Requires a 10% company share and creation of 20 jobs. |
