The qualifying investment

Premium Residency is not a single price. The unlimited duration option is a one time government fee, while the limited duration option is paid as an annual fee for each year you hold it. Category based options, such as those for talent, investors, entrepreneurs and property owners, instead require you to meet an eligibility condition rather than pay the headline duration fee.

The real estate option, for example, is based on owning qualifying residential property above a set value, free of mortgage. The investor and entrepreneur options are based on capital and business conditions. Confirm the current thresholds with the official authority.

Government and processing

The Premium Residency Center sets the official fees for each option. The unlimited duration product carries a one time government fee reported at SAR 800,000, while the limited duration product carries an annual fee reported at SAR 100,000. The category based options carry a separate application fee and are issued for a fixed renewable term.

Background and financial checks apply, and there can be additional issuance and renewal charges. Because these are set by the authority and revised periodically, confirm the current amounts on the official platform.

Professional fees

Some applicants use independent professional help for document preparation, translations and structuring an investment or property purchase. These fees are separate from the government charges and vary with the complexity of the case.

We do not name or recommend firms. Use Get Matched to compare vetted advisors, and ask for a written scope and fee before you engage anyone.

Building a realistic budget

A realistic budget depends entirely on the option. The unlimited duration route is a large one time outlay, while the limited duration route spreads cost across each year held. Category routes shift the cost into the qualifying investment or property rather than a flat fee.

Use the table as a checklist of cost lines and confirm each current figure with the official authority before acting.
