FAQ

What investors and companies ask

Can non-Saudis own property in the Kingdom?

Yes, under the non-Saudi real estate ownership law and its regulations, which set permitted areas, uses and procedures. We check eligibility and complete and register the purchase.

What is Premium Residency and who can apply?

A residency that lets the holder live, work and own property without a sponsor. It has several categories, each with its own conditions and fees. We match you to the right one and prepare the file.

What does a foreign company need for a regional HQ in Riyadh?

A MISA licence, then meeting the Regional HQ Program's staffing and activity requirements. We handle the structure, licence and set-up.

Do you work with associations and awqaf?

Yes: formation, bylaws, governance, tenders and real estate development contracts for awqaf, with fees scaled to the organization's size.
