The 5 EASIEST Muslim Countries to Get Permanent Residency

0:00 Okay, so you want to make Hijrah, but you don't want to live out of a suitcase. You want stability. You want a place where you can plant your roots and not worry about having to leave every 90 days. Today, we're counting down the five easiest Muslim countries to move to where you can get permanent residency or long-term residency. So we're ranking these countries from the most difficult, the easiest and fastest options available. And to make sure that you get the real facts, we've collected all of our information from official government sources. But before we get into the list, of course we have to address the elephant in the room, finances. It's very difficult to live permanently somewhere if you can't afford it.

0:50 And this is the reason why we partnered with Muslim Cedify. Muslim Cedify helps Muslim men learn a valuable remote skill called appointment setting. You can earn a good living right from your laptop remote from anywhere in the world. Muslim certified guarantees that you only work with Halal businesses.

Starting at number five, the most time consuming country on this list, is Turkey. Just to be clear, we're talking about permanent residency. We're not talking about the citizenship option, which is also available in Turkey. Permanent residency

1:38 and citizenship by investment are two completely different things. Turkey's official migration authority offers a permanent long-term residency permit. This permit is issued indefinitely. It gives you rights that are very close to Turkish citizens. You just won't be able to vote or join the military. Now, here's the catch. You must have continuously resided in Turkey for at least eight years. And those eight years have to be on a valid permit. You also have to prove that you have a stable income and that you have valid medical insurance. For more information, you can visit Turkey's official migration authority website. Moving on to number four, Bahrain. Bahrain offers what they call the golden residency.

2:28 This is officially described on their national portal as permanent residency. It's much easier than Turkey because there are multiple ways in. If you're a professional, you can qualify after only five years. But your basic salary has to be at least 2,000 Bahraini dinars. Now, if you don't want to wait five years, they have another option. You can purchase a property worth more than 130,000 Bahraini dinars. Now retirees and talented individuals also have a pathway here. For more information, you can visit Bahrain's nationality, passports, and residence affairs. You can also visit their national e-services portal. Now for number

3:14 three, we move to Southeast Asia, Indonesia. Indonesia's immigration authority offers something called the ITAP. The ITAP is a permanent residency permit. The timeline here is much shorter. To convert your temporary permit into an ITAP permit, you will only need to be in Indonesia for three consecutive years. And if you are married to an Indonesian citizen, that reduces down to two years. For more information, you can visit Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration. Very shortly, inshallah, we're going to reveal the top two easiest options. But listen to me carefully. When doing anything significant, it's very important to plan ahead. Hijra is a

4:00 life-changing decision. And to get the most out of it, you need a good plan. You can't just show up to these immigration offices wishing for the best. This is the exact reason why we developed the Hijra plan from A to Z. We use guided modules to help you draft your own custom relocation plan. And then we give you the assistance to help you execute it. For more information and to start building your own custom Hijra plan, go to HijraPlan.com. Coming in at number two is a country that I don't think we've ever mentioned on the channel before, Azerbaijan. If you want a permanent residency permit

4:45 fast, Azerbaijan state migration service has the quickest timeline we've ever seen. Foreigners who have resided there for only two years uninterrupted can submit an application for permanent residency. This is unlike Indonesia where you have to be married to an Indonesian to get that short period of time of two years. In Azerbaijan, this permanent residency option is usually taken on by people with senior roles in corporate entities or people engaging in entrepreneurship. Two years to permanent residency incredibly fast. For more information about this you can go to Azerbaijan's State Migration Services. Alhamdulillah you made it this far into the

5:31 video. Now let's talk about number one Saudi Arabia. Under the premium residency permit law Saudi Arabia now offers two types of permits fixed term permit and permanent permit. The reason this is number one is that if you meet the financial and the talent criteria, there is no massive multi-year waiting period in order for you to apply. All you need is just a valid passport, proof of financial stability, a clear criminal record, and a medical report. They have opened the door with specific products designed to attract investors, entrepreneurs, and special talents directly into permanent or long-term status. For more information, you can visit the Saudi Premium Residency Center or for direct

And here's my final piece of advice. While these might be the easiest options on paper, navigating foreign immigration systems is never just an easy walk in the park. These things are not always easy. You have to be determined, stay patient, and I highly recommend taking up legal counsel to help you and guide you along the way.
