This Visa is issued for a business visit to a company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for technical and professional purposes.
The Business Visa requires that all applicants attend an appointment at the Saudi Arabia Visa Application Center (Berne or Geneva) to provide biometric information (fingerprints and photo) and submit their visa application in person.
A representative from Global Visa Lab will accompany you during your appointment. This Visa is for technical and professional purpose only, for executives and professionals travelling on invitation from a company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Payment for the visa fee, along with the required health insurance fee, must be made at the Saudi Arabia Visa Center (Tasheer). The applicant is responsible for this payment, which can be done using a credit or debit card.
Most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Saudi Arabia for business activities. Only citizens from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states—Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates—are eligible for visa waiver status, allowing them to enter and conduct business in Saudi Arabia without a visa.
Those who do not qualify for a visa waiver must apply for a Business Visit Visa at a Saudi Arabian Embassy or Consulate before traveling. Although Saudi Arabia provides e-visas and visas on arrival, these are strictly for tourism and cannot be utilized for business purposes.
The Saudi Business visa application process can be quite complex, but we are here to assist you every step of the way!
The Embassy of Saudi Arabia requires that all individuals aged between 6 and 80 years, applying for a Saudi visa in Switzerland, must appear in person to submit their biometric data as part of the application process. Applications are accepted strictly by appointment (appoitnments are available every 20min from 10:00am until 12:40pm) at the Visa Application Centre in Berne or Geneva.
Our services includes the following:
Please note that the visa fee and medical insurance fee is not included and must be paid during your visit to the Saudi Visa Centre (VFS Tasheer) at the time of your scheduled appointment.
Additionally, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia will not affix a visa stamp in your passport; instead, the visa will be issued electronically and sent to you via secure email by us.
The Saudi Arabia Business Invitation Letter is a crucial document required for individuals intending to travel to Saudi Arabia for business purposes. This letter is necessary due to the corporate sponsorship-based immigration system in Saudi Arabia, where a registered company within the country must sponsor the visa. Once the invitation letter is obtained, the applicant can proceed with the business visa application process.
The Saudi Arabia Invitation Letter is issued exclusively online and contains personal information of the applicant, as well as details of both the inviting company in Saudi Arabia and the sending company. The letter also specifies the type of visa requested and its validity period.
You are required to submit a copy of the business registration for the Saudi company that is inviting or sponsoring your trip. This copy must include an official stamp or QR code of approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
