Residency Help in Saudi Arabia

Structured, Lawful, and Long-Term Entry Into the Kingdom

What Is Saudi Residency Permit

Saudi Arabia issues residence permits through two main paths: the Iqama system (employment or sponsor-based stay) and the Premium Residency Program (self-sponsored legal residency for investors and professionals). Every foreigner living in the Kingdom needs a valid Iqama or equivalent status, registered with the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat).

Residency is tied to legal entry, full biometric registration, and compliance with visa laws and Saudization rules.

Who Needs Saudi Residency

  • Professionals working under Saudi companies or government-linked bodies
  • Investors registering a Saudi business or buying qualifying real estate
  • Family members of a Saudi resident or citizen
  • High-net-worth individuals applying through the Premium Residency system
  • Long-term expats in sectors like oil, health, engineering, and education

The Process:

Step-by-Step Process

1. Ground Selection: Employment or Investment

We assess your background and map the best route whether job-based or investment track.

2. Sponsor or License Setup

If through employment, we validate the employer. If through investment, we register your company, lease an office, and get the business license from MISA.

3. Work Visa or Residency Entry Permit

Once the file clears initial screening, we secure your visa approval and send it to your local Saudi mission.

4. Medical Check, Biometric, and Muqeem Activation

Upon arrival, we walk you through mandatory medical testing, fingerprinting, and registration with Jawazat.

5. Family Sponsorship and Local Integration

We file for your spouse and children and prepare every step; school registration, lease, and Emirates ID equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iqama is employer- or sponsor-based. Premium Residency allows self-sponsorship if you meet financial and legal eligibility.

Yes. Both Iqama and Premium Residency allow dependents. Our team handles full family processing.

The minimum investment for business residency is SAR 1 million and a registered Saudi business activity. Your company must be real, compliant, and audited.

Saudi Arabia permits foreign property ownership in some cases, but it is not yet a core path for general residency unless under Premium tracks.

Iqama holders must not exceed six months abroad. Premium Residency holders have more flexibility.
