RIYADH: The royal decree issued today announced the granting of Saudi citizenship to foreign experts and extraordinary talents with unique talents in the fields of religion, medicine, science, culture, sports and technology.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) report, the royal decree states that foreign scientists, doctors, researchers, inventors, professionals, and entrepreneurs who contribute to the construction and development of the kingdom will be granted citizenship.
