Saudi Arabia has announced a royal decree granting citizenship to a diverse group of professionals including scientists, medical doctors, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and other talented individuals, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). “The announcement is made in line with the issued Royal decree to grant Saudi citizenships to experts and exceptional global talents with unique competencies in religious, medical, scientific, cultural, sports, and technological fields, contributing to the development of various sectors throughout the Kingdom, and in support of achieving its Vision 2030 goal, of creating an attractive environment that enables attracting, investing in and retaining exceptional creative minds,” SPA reported on Friday.
