Investor visas and premium residency explained
Foreign business owners in Saudi Arabia typically start with an investor visa tied to their MISA license, which allows them to enter, stay, and manage their company. It usually needs to be renewed periodically alongside the license.
Premium residency is a separate, longer-term option that gives holders more flexibility, including the ability to reside in the Kingdom without being tied to a specific employer or sponsor.
Employees you bring in for the company will generally need standard work visas and iqamas, which are a different process from the owner's investor visa.
