Saudi government's rule on expats property over exit.

Arshia Abdul Razik

Hi, I'm interested in buying residence property in Riyadh but not sure what will happen to the property if I have to go on exit. Anybody who knows the ruling regarding this?

If bought on a normal Iqama, you have to do a forced sale.  Same as cars and everything else.  That property gets you no leeway.


I would never advise you to buy in Saudi unless you qualify for premium residency, whether on your salary/job basis or on the property value basis.
