5 Ways to Get PERMANENT Residency in Saudi Arabia

[@IntisarAmmar]

Re: Choosing the Right City in Saudi Arabia I’m an American who has lived in Saudi for over 22 years, experiencing life in every major city here: the Eastern Province, Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, and Madinah. The response given by the brother on this topic was spot-on. There’s no universal answer to “Which city is best?” because it depends on your purpose. If you’re coming on an employment contract, your location will likely be set by your job. Based on qualifications, most job opportunities are concentrated in Riyadh and Jeddah, with newer prospects in developing areas like Neom and Red Sea resorts. For those looking at Makkah and Madinah, these cities are wonderful if you’re not planning to work-ideal for those on visitor visas or with premium residency. If you’re interested in starting a business, Riyadh and Jeddah both have distinct benefits, so it’s wise to visit and spend some time exploring to see which suits your business vision. And my advice? Make the prayer of Nuh: “My Lord, cause me to land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best of those who bring to land.”

[@twoplus7647]

Did you go on a tourist visa? Did you try to purchase a vehicle?

[@adama.3178]

@ yeah I had a tourist visa, no I did not try buying but I would rent out cars with my passport/visa.

[@twoplus7647]

@@adama.3178 I did the same for three months. What did you do for accommodation? Any luck with renting apartments? I stayed at hotels and Airbnbs.

[@adama.3178]

@ I did that at first airbnbs and furnished Saudi apartments. But altogether I spent 8 months+ over the course of the last couple of years. Then I got married, and got my own 2 bedroom, so my apartment is under my wife’s name. 4k a year about a 25 minute walk from masjid al nabawi

Another correction: The premium residency isn't for your wives or your children. The children of a premium residency holder can only live in Saudi till they're 25 years old. After that they have to get an iqama just like everyone else.

[@afarouk3712]

You crave for attention huh attention?

[@gabrielstorm3536]

Not if they apply and receive permanent residency before they reach the age of 25, no?

[@twoplus7647]

@gabrielstorm3536 yeah if each of your children also pay whatever the cost is after 20 years for a PR, then they can also stay. The cost is 800,000 right now and might be much higher later due to inflation. Who expects their children to make this much money before turning 25?

[@TheFeizel]

What about the wives? Do you have to pay for each wife?

[@Revert.corner]

This isn’t correct

[@dr.earnest.ujaama]

The Saudi exchange rate is 3.75 SAR to $1.00, so $100,000 is equal to 375,000 SAR. The entire Gulf region is going in the same direcetion. Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman also have similar programs for resisdency.

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته أحسن الله إليكم Do you think you can try and get a brother like him or someone else who is really well versed in the UAE to talk about the UAE on deeper level InShaaAllah. I was loving the content overall, especially the UAE ones, before the old channel got deleted. I never knew I would love the UAE as much as I do now, but, Alhamdulillah, after watching a lot of your interviews on the old channel, I got to learn so much more about other countries, and UAE is one of the ones I really love a ton. That is the beauty of your channel. I love how it covers a wide range of countries and goes into specifics regarding each, so it aids one in doing more research and, therefore making a well informed decisions of where they would love to go. Saudi and UAE are my top 2 for sure right now. BarakAllahu Feekum.

[@twoplus7647]

Another correction: A premium residency does NOT give you all the rights that Saudis have. For example, you getting hired by a firm doesn't help the firm with their Saudization quota. You also cannot hold any public office that Saudis hold. You also don't get free healthcare or free education.

[@muaawiyahtucker]

[@ahmedw5]

Very beneficial, barak Allahu feek. But regarding the premium visa where you pay 200 000 dollars for permanent residence, if you die will your family still have it? Or does that mean your family has to get out when you die?

[@kassandradamiani214]

My question

[@muaawiyahtucker]

@@kassandradamiani214I don’t know it to be inherited, so they would have to leave after a time, which is why it’s not ideal. So it’s not the best solution for everyone

[@fiyaz-koya]

I lived in saudi from 2003 and sadly will have to leave to UAE or Malaysia as I have been married recently and cost of living specially the rent in Riyadh is so high and I will endup spending more than what I make to stay with my wife. Insha Allah I will be starting my own business in Tech filed but sadly the cost of setting up business there is not in my budget as a startup so will have to choose UAE as it is cheaper to start there and rent in places like ajman is so cheap which will help me to start my web3 business.

Is the visa for male only can female apply for her family? The entrepreneur visa do you have to open the business what if is not profitable in Saudi Arabia?
