Investment migration — the rule, as checked 24.09.2026

Residence permit above a threshold

Real Estate Owner Residency (Premium Residency): residential property worth at least SAR 4 million (about USD 1.07 million) on a TAQEEM-accredited valuation, mortgage-free and fully completed; several properties may be combined; the permit lasts while the property is held, and a sold asset must be replaced within 90 days. Foreign ownership opened in designated zones under the law in force from January 2026. Reports of 'lifetime residency' for SAR 4 million are not officially confirmed.

A separate permanent Premium Residency costs a one-time SAR 800,000 and is not tied to property; the two figures are often confused.

Where the sources disagree

Statements attributed to a developer's chief executive describe 'lifetime residency' for a SAR 4 million purchase; no official confirmation.

33 records, 29 with a published page. Each record carries the facts this rule turns on — entry price, seller, and where the rule distinguishes them, first sale, fractional sale, construction status, tenure — each dated and sourced.

The register publishes the rule and the facts; it does not say whether any purchase qualifies. Eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building, and the register is not immigration counsel. All jurisdictions →
