The Real Estate General Authority (REGA) developed this digital channel to streamline the acquisition process for international buyers. Users can verify eligibility, browse approved real estate opportunities, and track their applications in real-time. For non-Saudi residents living in the Kingdom, the process requires a residency number for automated verification. International applicants residing abroad must first secure a digital identity card through Saudi missions before initiating their online request.

Saudi Arabia Opens Digital Portal for Foreign Property Ownership
Foreign investors and residents can now apply for real estate ownership across Saudi Arabia through the newly launched Saudi Properties portal. The platform centralizes regulatory procedures, marking a significant shift in the Kingdom’s property market following the Foreign Real Estate Ownership Law that took effect earlier this year.
Corporate entities without a domestic presence face a two-step process: they must register with the Ministry of Investment via the Invest Saudi platform to obtain a national unified number. While the law permits property ownership across most of the Kingdom, it maintains specific restrictions for Makkah and Madinah, where acquisition remains limited to Saudi companies and Muslim individuals. By linking real estate pathways to verified data sources, the government aims to bolster market transparency and support ongoing urban development projects across the country.
