Saudi Arabia: Visas, Residency & Business Setup

Citizenship

Saudi Premium Residency is a long-term residency status rather than a path to citizenship — Saudi Arabia does not currently operate a citizenship-by-investment programme.

Company Setup Including Regional Headquarter

Establishing a business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia allows companies to tap into one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the Middle East, particularly since the introduction of 100% foreign ownership in most sectors under the Saudi Investment Law. Hudson McKenzie advises on the full range of market-entry structures — including branch offices, limited liability companies, joint ventures, representative offices and Regional Headquarters (RHQ) — as well as licensing, work permits, Iqamas and ongoing Saudization compliance. We work with multinational corporations, SMEs, investors and entrepreneurs at every stage of establishing and operating in Saudi Arabia, providing practical, commercially focused solutions rather than generic guidance.
