The Premium Residency Cost Calculator compares the direct cost of renewable one-year residency with permanent Premium Residency. Enter the annual fee, the number of years to compare, the permanent-residency fee and any recurring annual costs. The default figures are SAR 100,000 per year and SAR 800,000 for permanent residency, but every amount remains editable so the calculator can reflect updated fees or a different scenario.
How it works
The calculator multiplies the annual residency fee plus other recurring costs by the selected number of years. For the permanent option, it adds the one-time permanent fee to the same recurring costs over the comparison period. It then displays both totals, their difference and the lower-cost option.
The formula
Annual and permanent fees are editable inputs. Other annual costs may include document preparation, insurance, professional assistance or services outside the basic product fee. This calculator does not assess eligibility.
Worked example
At SAR 100,000 per year and SAR 800,000 for permanent residency, eight years of the annual option cost SAR 800,000, equal to the permanent fee before other expenses. Over ten years, the annual option totals SAR 1,000,000, which is SAR 200,000 more than the permanent fee.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator determine Premium Residency eligibility?
No. It compares costs only. Eligibility depends on the selected product, supporting documents, financial capacity, legal record and the requirements applied by the Premium Residency Center.
Are there other Premium Residency products?
Yes. Products are available for categories such as investors, entrepreneurs, property owners, special talent and gifted individuals. Their fees and requirements may differ from the two general options compared here.
Is permanent residency always the cheaper choice?
No. The answer depends on how long you expect to remain, recurring expenses and the time value of money. The calculator provides a nominal cost comparison rather than a complete financial recommendation.
Are family-related costs included?
Not automatically. Add expected recurring expenses to the other annual costs field and verify what the official product fee includes.
Where should I verify current fees and requirements?
The Premium Residency Center is the final authority. Review the official product page and regulations before applying or making a financial commitment.
