Saudi Work Visa
Saudi Work Visa
The Saudi Work Visa is required for foreign nationals seeking employment in Saudi Arabia. The visa is employer-sponsored and is linked to a specific job with a registered Saudi company. The process has been modernized under Vision 2030 reforms.
How It Works
- Saudi employer obtains a work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources
- Employer applies for a visa block through MOFA
- Employee receives a visa authorization number
- Employee submits documents at Saudi embassy/consulate in home country
- Medical examination and biometrics
- Visa issuance (2-4 weeks)
- Upon arrival: Iqama (residence permit) processing
