What rights do premium residents have in Saudi Arabia?

The Premium Residency Permit (PRP) is a self-sponsored long-term residency visa. It allows eligible foreign nationals to live, work, invest and own business or property in Saudi Arabia without a local sponsor or employer.

What is the difference between Premium Residency and permanent residency in Saudi Arabia?

Premium Residency is separate from the iqama residency because it grants more of the rights and privileges given to permanent residents in other countries. Iqama holders must have a Saudi sponsor and must still regularly renew their residence permits.
