Saudi Arabia has now made it possible for non-Saudi, non-resident foreigners to own property with 100% foreign ownership rights. To ensure compliance, international investors must complete the following steps before acquiring or using property in the Kingdom:
Obtain and Activate a Digital ID
The Absher platform is Saudi Arabia’s official gateway for government services. Foreign investors must first register and activate their digital ID here. This ID is the foundation for identity verification and accessing property-related services.
Open a Saudi Bank Account
A local bank account in Saudi Arabia is mandatory to handle property-related payments. It ensures smooth financial transactions while staying within the Kingdom’s regulatory framework.
Secure a Saudi Contact Number
Investors must obtain a local contact number, which is essential for linking to the digital ID and managing property services seamlessly.
Owning property in Saudi Arabia is now more straightforward, but the process still involves multiple compliance steps. From registering on Absher to navigating banking and telecom requirements, each stage needs to be handled carefully to avoid delays.
