Marriage Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you qualify for marriage assistance in Saudi Arabia and how to secure financial or furniture support for your first wedding.
This scheme provides financial or material help to citizens preparing for their first wedding.
Who it's for
This support is specifically designed for Saudi citizens who are planning their first marriage. To be eligible, applicants must fall into a low-income category, as the program is intended to assist those who may find the initial costs of starting a household to be a significant financial challenge.
What you get
You can receive a one-time benefit to help cover the essential expenses of a new marriage. The support is provided in one of two ways: you may receive direct financial assistance in SAR to help with wedding costs, or you may receive furniture support to help equip your new home. This assistance is intended to provide a foundation for your new life together.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply for this support, but you must provide specific documentation to prove your eligibility. You will need to submit your official marriage contract and provide formal proof of your income to confirm that you meet the low-income criteria required by the foundation.
The catch to know
The most important thing to keep in mind is that the available funds for this program are limited. Because the foundation works with a set amount of resources, they distribute the support on a first-come, first-served basis. It is advisable to complete your application as soon as your marriage is officially documented to increase your chances of receiving aid.
How to apply
- Obtain your official marriage contract from the relevant authorities.
- Gather all necessary documents that serve as proof of your current income.
- Ensure you meet all the specific eligibility criteria for Saudi citizens.
- Submit your completed application and supporting documents to the Nasser Bin Hamad Foundation.
