Saudi Residency May Be Easier Than Morocco

People keep complaining, "Hijrah to Saudi is too difficult! waah!"


But Saudi Residency maybe easier for you than Morocco!


While this blog focuses on making Hijrah to Morocco, I still encourage you to go for the creme de la creme: Mecca and Medina. These two blessed cities remain the most ideal places for Hijrah. And the good news? Alhamdulillah, Saudi Arabia is making it easier than ever to move there—especially if you have a skill or talent.


There’s a special type of residency that many people don’t know about called the Talent Residency (also known as the Gifted Residency). You can apply at pr.gov.sa by selecting “Talent Residency” on the homepage.


Who qualifies?

Here are the six main categories:


1. Visual Artists – Painters, photographers, designers, etc.


2. Architecture & Design – Architects, interior designers, 3D artists.


3. Culinary Arts – Chefs, bakers, culinary innovators.


4. Museum Professionals – Curators, restorers, exhibit designers.


5. Culture & Heritage Experts – Historians, YouTubers, educators, or anyone sharing cultural knowledge.


6. Athletes – From any sports background.


The benefits are incredible:


  • Only SAR 4000 (~$1100) after approval.


  • Application fee is around SAR 600 (~$170).


  • 5-year residency, renewable.


  • Eligible for permanent residency after 2.5 years of continuous living.


  • No monthly family fees (which non-residents normally pay).


  • Bring your spouse, children, and even your parents.


  • Freedom to work without a binding employer contract.


  • Buy property and rent freely.


SubhanAllah, this opportunity is worth giving a shot. This might be your open door to living in a land of barakah.


If you fall under any of these categories, don’t hesitate—just say Bismillah and apply.
