Vision 2030 is not a slogan. It is the largest state-led economic transformation on earth. Here's what that means for international investors.

Vision 2030:
what it actually means.

Vision 2030 is Saudi Arabia's national plan to diversify its economy away from oil. The government has committed to transforming the Kingdom into a global logistics hub, a tourism destination, a technology centre, and a manufacturing base, all before 2030.

The implications for foreign investors are substantial: new sectors opening to foreign capital, a dramatically simplified company formation process, and a government that is actively trying to attract international business.

What this means for you.

01

100% Foreign Ownership

Own your Saudi entity outright. No local partner required across the vast majority of business sectors, meaning full control from day one.

02

No Personal Income Tax

Saudi Arabia levies zero personal income tax. Corporate tax applies only to the foreign-owned share at a competitive flat rate.

03

Strategic Gateway

At the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Kingdom offers direct access to a market of over 400 million consumers.

04

Government-Backed Entry

MISA actively courts foreign investors with fast-track licensing and a dedicated support system throughout the formation process.
