Property that opens a door

This is a small, growing selection of homes chosen for what comes with them as much as what they are: a second base, and in several of our markets, a route to residency. It is the link between owning a place and the right to live in it, stay in it and move more freely because of it. The selection suits people thinking about where the next chapter of their life happens, not only where their capital sits.

What sits here today spans three markets and a handful of homes. In the United Arab Emirates, property investment from AED 2 million can support a 10-year Golden Visa, and Meridian Residences is a city tower built around that life. In Saudi Arabia, foreign freehold opened to all nationalities within designated zones in January 2026, and qualifying investment from SAR 4 million can support residency eligibility. In Montenegro, owning a home outright supports a renewable temporary-residence permit, the route behind a marina address like Azure Bay on Boka Bay.

Weighing the investment and the life together

A home in this selection asks two questions at once. As an investment, you are reading the same fundamentals you would anywhere: the market, the location, the developer, the terms of ownership and what it costs to enter and one day leave. We will not promise a yield or a price in five years, and you should be wary of anyone who does. As a life decision, the question is quieter and more personal: what would make this feel like the right place to be, three years from now, beyond the numbers.

The two answers rarely line up by accident. Residency rules, tax treatment and ownership rights differ by market and can change, and they shape both the return and the practical reality of using a home. Knowing how Saudi Arabia's freehold zones work, what an AED 2 million purchase actually unlocks, or how a Montenegrin residence permit renews matters as much as the floor plan. That understanding is the work that comes before the home, and it is where most of the value is decided.

How we guide the exploration

We begin with what you are really trying to achieve, then bring the market and cultural intelligence to test it against reality: who can own what, where residency genuinely follows from ownership, and which homes feel right to live with over time, not only on paper. From there we open the doors to the right addresses, whether that is a Foster + Partners branded residence on the Jeddah waterfront, a fully fitted Trump Mansion at Rayana beside Diriyah, or a marina-front residence at Azure Bay. The property arrives as the natural conclusion of understanding, not as the opening pitch.

This is a guided selection, deliberately narrow, and it grows as we find homes we would be glad to own ourselves. If a second base and a possible route to residency is the kind of door you are weighing, talk to our advisory team. We will start with your circumstances, not a brochure, and walk the questions through with you.

Questions

What does "investment and residency" property actually mean?

It means buying a home partly for the rights that come with it: a second base, and in several markets a route to residency tied to ownership. The investment and the right to live, stay and move are weighed together, rather than treating the property as a financial line alone.

Which of your markets link buying a home to residency?

Three today. In the UAE, property investment from AED 2 million can support a 10-year Golden Visa. In Saudi Arabia, qualifying real-estate investment from SAR 4 million can support residency eligibility. In Montenegro, owning a home outright supports a renewable temporary-residence permit. Rules differ by market and can change, so they should be confirmed before you commit.

Can foreign buyers own property outright in these markets?

Largely, within defined limits. Saudi Arabia opened foreign freehold to all nationalities in designated zones from 22 January 2026; the UAE allows freehold for all nationalities in designated areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In Montenegro, foreign buyers can own apartments and buildings outright, with agricultural land the main restriction, usually held through a local company.

Does residency through property mean citizenship or a passport?

No. These are routes to residency, the right to live and stay, not citizenship or a passport. A Montenegrin permit, for example, is renewable while you hold the property. Eligibility, thresholds and conditions vary by market and can change, so they should be confirmed before you commit.

How should I weigh one of these homes as an investment?

Read the fundamentals as you would anywhere: market, location, developer, ownership terms, and the costs of entering and exiting, including fees such as Saudi Arabia's transfer fee of up to 5% on disposals by non-Saudis. We will not promise a yield or a future price, and we would be cautious of anyone who does. The residency rights are a real benefit to factor in, not a substitute for the numbers.

What should I check before buying for residency?

Confirm the current investment threshold and whether your intended purchase qualifies, since rules change; check what the residency actually grants and how it renews; and understand the tax and ownership position in that market, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia having no personal income or capital gains tax. We will walk these through with you against your own circumstances before any home is on the table.
