Overview

This visa is designated for employees and workers of companies located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Before submitting the visa application from the applicant’s country of origin or current residance, the work permit and necessary authorizations must be issued by the employer.

To obtain a visa, employees must have a sponsor in Saudi Arabia. The sponsoring employer is responsible for most of the application process, but the prospective employee will need to supply all the necessary documents.

It’s a two-step process:
First, you get a visit visa valid for 90 days to enter the country. 
Secondly, your employer applies for your residence permit and work permit (called an Iqama) which allows you to live and work there longer-term.
