Zero Income Tax
Saudi Arabia has no personal income tax on rental income. A significant advantage compared to highly taxed European markets.
USD-Pegged Currency
The Saudi Riyal is pegged to USD, providing stability for European investors with EUR exposure.
Vision 2030 Transformation
$3.3 trillion in planned investment. European companies are actively participating in Saudi mega-projects.
True Diversification
For European investors concentrated in EU markets, Saudi Arabia offers exposure to different economic drivers.
Accessible from Europe
Direct flights from major European hubs to Riyadh and Jeddah. Property viewings are practical.
Key Considerations for European Buyers
Tax Reporting
EU residents may need to report overseas property and income to their national tax authorities. Saudi Arabia has no income tax on rentals. Consult a local tax advisor.
EUR/SAR Transfers
International wire transfers from European banks are straightforward. Consider specialist FX providers for larger amounts.
Legal Process
Foreign ownership is permitted in designated freehold zones. The process can often be completed remotely with proper documentation.
