Short answer: Saudi Premium Residency has two main options: a one-time fee for permanent residence, or an annually renewable long-term residence. Both can include spouse, children and parents.
The two options compared
| Permanent (one-time) | Annual renewable | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | One-time around SAR 800,000 level (confirm latest) | Paid each year |
| Status | Permanent residence | Long-term, must renew |
| Family | Parents can be included | Parents can be included |
Versus UAE Golden Visa
- Saudi: direct permanent option available; parents clearly included.
- UAE: up to ten years, property and other routes, no personal income tax — but tax residence needs genuine stay.
Who it suits
Families wanting permanent or long-term Middle East status, needing to include parents, or planning to live and invest in Saudi Arabia.
