Saudi Temporary Work Visa for Tunisian Citizens and Residents
Saudi Temporary Work Visa from Tunisia
What Is the Saudi Temporary Work Visa?
The temporary work visa is a short-term employment visa that authorises professionals to enter Saudi Arabia and work under a Saudi sponsor for a limited duration.
It is designed for companies, contractors, and consultants who need to deploy their teams for specific projects, installations, training programmes, or maintenance work.
Unlike the standard work visa, this visa does not require an Iqama (residence permit), making it a faster and simpler solution for short-term professional engagements.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Temporary Work Visa from Tunisia?
You can apply if:
- You are a Tunisian citizen or foreign resident in Tunisia
- You have been invited by a Saudi-registered company to work on a short-term assignment
- Your Saudi sponsor has obtained MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) authorisation

This visa is most common for engineers, technical teams, consultants, auditors, and corporate trainers deployed to Saudi Arabia on short-term contracts.
