About the Saudi Premium Residency
Saudi Premium Residency (often called the 'Saudi Green Card') is a renewable residency permit for high-skilled foreigners, investors, and capital-bringing applicants. The 2024 expansion took the scheme from a single investor category to seven: Exceptional Competence, Talent, Business Investor, Entrepreneur, Real Estate Owner, Limited Duration, and Unlimited Duration — broadening access beyond the original investor-only scope.
Premium Residency holders work without an Iqama sponsor, can own real estate, and conduct business independently. Vision 2030's localisation drive (Saudization) has accelerated Premium Residency issuance for senior tech and engineering hires at NEOM, Aramco Digital, and PIF portfolio companies. Annual fees apply; verify with MISA for current categories and fee structure.
CV tip for Premium Residency applicants
For Premium Residency-eligible candidates: state explicitly in header — "Saudi Premium Residency holder / eligible". Reduces Iqama-transfer friction.
Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.my.gov.sa — before applying or making relocation decisions.

We are not a recruiter, staffing agency or immigration consultancy, and we do not contact employers or sponsor visas.
Other Saudi Arabia visa pathways
For Iqama-sponsored applications: clarify current Iqama status if any (active / transferable / requires fresh issuance) — sponsorship swap timelines differ.
For NEOM / Vision 2030 megaproject roles: lead with quantified scale ($, headcount, infrastructure size) — Saudi HR expects megaproject scope on the CV.
