Saudi Arabia's Gifted Residency Permit Allows Family Inclusion
The Saudi government has announced the family inclusion rules for its Gifted Residency permit, a program aimed at attracting talented foreigners in sports, culture, and the arts. Under this initiative, foreign talents can bring three categories of family members: parents, spouses, and children under the age of 25.
The inclusion of parents is particularly notable, as many residency schemes in the Gulf region typically limit family sponsorship to spouses and minor children. This program is part of Saudi Arabia's broader strategy to enhance its professional and cultural environment by drawing skilled creatives and performers, facilitating knowledge exchange, and providing a platform for growth within the kingdom.
The details of the Gifted Residency permit were published on the Premium Residency portal in 2026.
