This commitment is consistent with the primary objective of the Cooperative Health Insurance System, which, according to Article 1, aims to provide and organize healthcare for all non-Saudi residents in the Kingdom. Article Two of its executive regulations explicitly subjects “non-Saudi residents of the Kingdom” to compulsory health insurance, and holders of distinguished residency fall under this general description.
Based on the above, obtaining and maintaining valid medical insurance is a legal obligation in which there is no exception for the holder of privileged residence and his family.
