Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Indian nationals can apply on the same basis as other foreign nationals. There is no nationality bar. Selection is made on the track you apply under, such as wealth, real estate ownership, investment, entrepreneurship or talent, rather than on passport.
Applicants must meet general conditions such as being an adult, holding a valid passport, showing financial capacity and passing health and security checks. Confirm the conditions for your chosen track with the official centre.
The programme offers several tracks. The two simplest are the unlimited duration residency, paid as a one time fee, and the limited duration residency, paid as an annual fee. Other tracks are tied to activity, including a real estate owner track, an investor track and an entrepreneur track, alongside talent based categories.
The real estate owner track requires ownership of qualifying developed residential property free of mortgage. The investor and entrepreneur tracks set investment and equity conditions. Choose the track that fits your situation and confirm its rules with the centre.
Processing times are set by the Saudi Premium Residency Center and depend on the track and the completeness of the file. Confirm the current timeline with the centre before you plan around it.
