Saudi Arabia grants citizenship to prominent doctors, scholars
The official Saudi Press Agency said the kingdom will grant citizenship to “experts and exceptional global talents."
Saudi Arabia has awarded citizenship to a group of expats including doctors, Islamic scholars and prominent academics, following a royal decree announcing a formal naturalization program for high-skilled foreigners.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported last week on a royal decree issued by Saudi King Salman that would grant Saudi citizenship to “experts and exceptional global talents” in religious, medical, scientific, cultural, sports and technological fields.
