Overview

Saudi Premium Residency tied to ownership of a SAR 4M+ developed, mortgage-free residential property; 5-year renewable permit while the asset is held.

The Real Estate Owner stream of Saudi Arabia's Premium Residency is an asset-backed pathway under the 1445H Premium Residency Law, run by the Premium Residency Center. It ties long-term residency to ownership of a qualifying Saudi property rather than to an employer or sponsor.

Applicants must own developed residential property appraised at SAR 4,000,000+ by a TAQEEM-accredited valuer, mortgage-free, outside Mecca, Medina, and border areas. They must be 21+, with a clean record and medical clearance. The fee is a one-time SAR 4,000. Permits run up to five years and renew while the property is held; holders and family may work in the private sector.

This visa is ideal for high-net-worth investors seeking a stable, sponsor-free Saudi residency anchored to a real-estate position rather than employment.
