Saudi Work Visa for Swedish Citizens and Residents
Saudi Work Visa from Sweden
What Is the Saudi Work Visa?
The Saudi work visa allows professionals and skilled workers in Sweden to live and work in Saudi Arabia under the sponsorship of a licensed Saudi employer. Whether you’re relocating for a corporate role, a project assignment or long-term employment, our team ensures every step of the visa process is managed accurately and efficiently.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Work Visa from Sweden?
Swedish Citizens
Swedish nationals can apply once they have received a confirmed job offer or signed employment contract from a Saudi-registered employer authorised to sponsor foreign workers.
Foreign Residents in Sweden
Foreign nationals living in Sweden with a valid Swedish residence permit can also apply, provided they hold an official job offer or authorisation from a Saudi company.
Our specialists assist both Swedish citizens and foreign residents in preparing, authenticating and submitting all documentation in line with Saudi Embassy and MOFA standards.
