How It Works
Two journeys, one team, walked through in the order that serves you best. Company formation first, 3 to 6 weeks that unlock residency, banking and your legal standing. Property purchase next, about 15 weeks from search to title. The same dedicated Saudi team guides both, end to end. Here is exactly what happens, step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does company formation take?+
Most establishments complete in 3-6 weeks once your documents are ready. Your fixed quote confirms the exact timeline for your activity and structure.
Do I need to travel to Saudi Arabia for formation?+
Most steps run remotely under power of attorney. Some banks and visa stages may benefit from a short visit; your lawyer confirms exactly what applies to you.
Can my company hold property and get residency?+
Yes. A Saudi LLC can hold real estate in its own name, and the investor residency pathway runs through your company, something personal property ownership cannot provide. Premium Residency offers further options, including the SAR 4M+ Real Estate Owner route.
Do I need to travel to Saudi Arabia to buy property?+
No. The entire purchase can be managed remotely. NAL Lawyers are experienced in handling international investors without requiring physical presence in Saudi Arabia.
What is the minimum property investment?+
There is no fixed minimum, but properties on our platform start from around £187,000 (SAR 850,000).
Can I get a mortgage in Saudi Arabia?+
Foreign investors currently cannot obtain Saudi mortgages for properties in approved zones. Most investors purchase with cash. Financing rules may evolve.
What happens after I pay the purchase tax?+
The 5% purchase tax is paid once, at the point of transaction. After that there are no annual property taxes, no tax on your sale profit, and no tax on rental income in Saudi Arabia for individual foreign investors.
Is my UK tax position affected?+
Yes, you will need to report rental income and any capital gains from Saudi property to HMRC. See our UK Tax Guide for full details.
