Saudi Arabia is evaluating an expansion of its premium residency programme as part of broader efforts to attract foreign capital, high-net-worth individuals and skilled talent under its Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy. The proposed changes could widen eligibility to include superyacht owners, buyers of homes within flagship development projects and high-performing students, according to people familiar with the discussions. While the plans remain under consideration, the move signals a push to position the kingdom as a long-term destination for affluent residents and global professionals.

The initiative builds on recent reforms, including property ownership rights for foreigners and relaxed lifestyle regulations, aimed at enhancing Saudi Arabia's appeal to international investors and residents.Read more
