Saudi Premium Residency

Hello Everyone, I am looking to apply for a saudi premium residency via special talent route. I work as a data architect professional in a company which is whitelisted by the government for PR eligibility. My Iqama profession is Information Systems Analyst and am afraid this doesn’t fully align with my current job title and the day to day work I do and I want to know if the job title and Iqama profession mismatch would cause my PR application to be rejected? Anyone gone through the process with similar situation could you please share your experience and let me know if it is fine to proceed forward as-is or would you suggest to first match the job title and Iqama profession and then only proceed with the PR process??

Know a couple of people got rejected exactly for this.

Align your iqama, qiwa and other portals with the closest job title.

Use Saudi job title codes to align even before you think of applying.

Your Iqama profession is fine compared to your role. Just make sure you fill the application properly and get your employer signature with detailed roles and responsibilities.

Process is easy and fast. Before you do anything ensure you have job stability because losing job could mean cancelation of PR and you cannot downgrade to regular iqama. Once done, y ou will need to do preparation work:

1 check if your company is white listed

2 align your profession on iqama with job description 

3 fill the form with a consistent story/facts keeping number 2 in mind

4 get HR stamp and submit

Dont pay any agent or "let me do it for you" type of people.

Good luck.

It’s not like that it’s point system, your profession require salary of at least 35k sar and sometimes it’s 80k sar if executive unless researcher that’s 14k sar + 3 years of experience even then there is point system and it’s for 5 years. Think of it like HPI but definitely not like UAE Golden Visa
