Foreigners Can Now Buy Property As of January 2026
Under the new Saudi regulatory framework, foreign ownership of real estate is now permitted in designated circumstances as of January 2026.
However, the ability to purchase property depends on meeting specific legal conditions, property criteria, and regulatory approvals. These requirements must be satisfied before any ownership transfer can take place.
Why Legal Support is Required To Purchase Property in Saudi
For a foreign buyer to complete a compliant property purchase, the following requirements must be satisfied:
Verification of eligibility under applicable regulations
Confirmation that the property qualifies for foreign ownership
Legal due diligence on ownership, zoning, and restrictions
Government and regulatory approvals prior to transfer
Proper legal structuring of the transaction
Each of these steps requires legal oversight to ensure the purchase is valid, transferable, and fully compliant with current regulations.
Without proper legal support, a transaction may face delays, rejection, or post-purchase legal and compliance risks.
Not Sure If You Meet the Requirements?
Foreign ownership is permitted only when specific legal conditions are satisfied.
A brief legal consultation can help determine whether you are eligible to proceed.
