Saudi Arabia has announced the introduction of five new
residency programs, targeting skilled professionals and investors to diversify
its economy away from fossil fuels.
The initiative intends to generate jobs, promote knowledge transfers, and draw a sizable amount of foreign direct investment. It is a component of Crown Prince Mohammed bins Salman's Vision 2030 economic transformation strategy. The initiatives include anything from business launches to real estate ownership.
Saudi Arabia offers residency programs for individuals who
wish to live and work in the country, own property, and engage in business.
These programs cater to various groups, including entrepreneurs, real estate
owners, professionals with special skills in science, research, and healthcare,
skilled workers in the cultural and sports industries, and investors seeking to
invest in Saudi Arabia's booming business environment. To be eligible,
applicants must establish contracts, submit commercial registrations, issue
investment licenses, and invest a minimum of SR7 million in Saudi economic
endeavors. These initiatives aim to enhance knowledge exchange and cultural
development in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia provides its nationals with premium residences,
which entitles them to create enterprises, host family members, extend their
status to family members, and send and receive free money transfers. As part of
the nation's efforts to diversify its economy, the residency programs, which
come with a one-time cost of SR4,000, are anticipated to have a big impact on
how the Gulf region develops in the future. The areas that are highlighted
include real estate, sports, and healthcare; these highlight the Kingdom's
deliberate efforts to develop a knowledge-based economy. It is anticipated that
the Gulf region's implementation of these residency programs will support
global collaboration and sustainable growth.
