Saudi Arabia offers Premium Residency, a status that lets foreign nationals live, work and own property without a local sponsor. Turkish nationals can apply on the same basis as other foreign applicants who meet the criteria. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Turkish nationals are eligible. The scheme is open to foreign nationals generally and there is no reported nationality bar. Applicants must be at least 21, hold a valid passport, show a clean criminal record, pass a medical check and prove financial solvency.
Each product line carries its own conditions, so the right option depends on your assets, income or profession rather than your nationality. Confirm the live eligibility rules with the Saudi Premium Residency Center.
There are two core options. The permanent option is a one time payment for lifelong residency with no annual renewal. The renewable option is paid each year. Alongside these, category based residencies were added for investors, real estate owners, special talent, gifted individuals and entrepreneurs, each valid for a set term. The real estate owner category requires ownership of qualifying residential property above a published value. Confirm the current list and conditions with the Saudi Premium Residency Center.
Processing time varies with the option chosen and the completeness of documents and checks. Confirm current scheduling with the Saudi Premium Residency Center.
