Saudi Arabia Launches Five New Visa Categories

In order to attract skilled professionals and investors, Saudi Arabia has launched five new visas as part of its “premium residency products.” These initiatives are in line with the country’s objectives for economic transformation and increasing worldwide corporate significance.

Special skill, gifted, investor, entrepreneur, and real estate owner residencies are among the new visa categories. These visas seek to support the kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy for economic diversification by providing holders with a range of benefits, including the ability to do business, buy real estate, acquire work permits, and more.

The special talent residency seeks individuals with distinctive skills to support knowledge and technology transfer, focusing on executives and professionals in the healthcare, science, and research sectors.

For people looking for chances in Saudi Arabia’s booming economic scene, there is an investor residency program.

The program for budding entrepreneurs and owners of creative enterprises hoping to launch startups in the kingdom is called the Entrepreneur Residency. Those who want to profit from Saudi Arabia’s quickly expanding real estate sector are the target audience for the real estate owner visa.

The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s Premium Residency Center, Majid bin Alkassabi, emphasized the advantages of the visas, which include real estate ownership, work permits, and other privileges.

The new visas’ duration and cost were not specified, but overall the plan is in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes information sharing, job creation, and economic diversification.

To help achieve its objectives for a non-oil economy, the monarchy has been aggressively pushing industry free zones, tax breaks, and public-private partnerships in an effort to draw in talent and investors.

The new visa options encourage anyone who can contribute to the national economy to actively participate in the kingdom’s economic path and represent Saudi Arabia’s aim to becoming a worldwide commercial hub.

By fostering economic growth and diversification, the program seeks to enhance Saudi Arabia’s standing as a top travel and investment destination.
