Saudi Work Visa for South Korean Citizens and Residents
Saudi Work Visa from South Korea
What Is the Saudi Work Visa?
A Saudi Work Visa allows an applicant with an approved Saudi employer to live and work in the Kingdom. The visa is valid for 90 days for entry. After arrival, the employer converts it into a residence permit, known as an Iqama.
The visa is intended for skilled professionals contributing to Saudi Arabia’s growing industries. This includes engineers, healthcare practitioners, IT specialists, technicians and consultants, as well as professionals in long-term corporate roles, sector programmes or specialised projects.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Work Visa from South Korea?
South Korean citizens with a confirmed employment offer from a Saudi organisation can apply. A Saudi-registered company or government organisation must sponsor you and obtain the approved work authorisation.
Foreign residents of South Korea can also apply if they hold a valid South Korean residence permit and have a confirmed Saudi job offer.
A confirmed job offer and employer sponsorship are mandatory. South Korean citizenship or residency alone does not qualify you for a Saudi Work Visa.
