We still don’t have anything official from the government yet on the amount that will be charged. But if the amount is true, it certainly looks like it will have many takers. Especially, on the permanent one as SAR 800,000 for permanent stay in the country is an amount that many affluent expats won’t shy away from shelling.
So shell SAR 800,000 and you’ll be able to buy property, use various public health and education facilities and even run your own business.
Not bad, right?
