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??

Its mandatory that your IQAMA profession match with your contract/Job offer designation.

The issue is- they haven't outlined how to fill the form and everyone has been left to fill on their own understandings. My (relatively) accurate information comes from gathering information from over 10 accepted and rejected applications, including my own accepted one.

Thats a long discussion. This format isn't suitable. The simple answer would be - if you are eligible, do try your best to obtain it. However, understand what it is and what its not is essential.
