How secure it is

“Days to keep” — the physical-presence rule that keeps the status alive — is the column no other index publishes. It’s also exactly what Countly counts.

Max absence before loss

Not specified/no limit found for the permanent (SAR 800,000 one-time) tier

Indefinite statusAllowed

Revocable for serious crime, fraud in the application, or national-security grounds; the cheaper renewable tier (SAR 100,000/year)…

Tax residency · separate clock183 days

staying past 183 days typically makes you a tax resident — a different count, also worth tracking.

This status does not add visa-free access beyond the passport itself — its value is in rights, path and security.
