In January 2026 the regulations allowing non-Saudi individuals and companies to own property in Saudi Arabia came into force, announced by the Real Estate General Authority (REGA).
Ownership is allowed in designated zones. Riyadh and Jeddah follow a Geographic Zones Document, and Makkah and Madinah have their own rules.
Applications from non-Saudis are made through the official Saudi Arabia Real Estate platform.
