Three generations together under Saudi Premium Residency

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Mr Tsai’s Saudi Premium Residency experience. He wanted three generations to live together while he worked in Saudi Arabia.

Background

Mr Tsai, an energy industry executive from Taipei, applied with his wife, two children and his parents. He wanted three generations to live together while he worked in Saudi Arabia.

Main concern

An ordinary work visa made long-term residence for his parents difficult.

Our approach

He chose Unlimited Duration residence for a one-time SAR 800,000, registering his spouse, children under 25 and parents together.

Process and outcome

He received permanent residence in about 3 months, and his parents now live in Riyadh with the family.

Adviser’s comment

Premium Residency can include parents — a key reason three-generation families choose it.

Saudi Premium Residency application process

  1. Assessment and choice of route (2–4 weeks): We compare the routes against your funds, property and background and confirm the right category.
  2. Documents (1–2 months): Prepare your passport, proof of finances and property or investment documents.

FAQ

Does Premium Residency lead to citizenship?

It does not automatically lead to Saudi citizenship; Premium Residency is long-term or permanent residence.

What is the difference between SAR 800,000 and SAR 4,000,000?

SAR 800,000 is a one-time fee for permanent residence. SAR 4,000,000 is the property value threshold for the Real Estate Owner route, where the application fee is SAR 4,000 and the residence lasts as long as you own the property.

Can mortgaged property be used for the property route?

No. It must be completed residential property, free of any mortgage, and valued by an accredited valuer.
