Saudi Work Visa for Thai Citizens and Residents
Saudi Work Visa from Thailand
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 and technical specialists in sectors such as engineering, healthcare, construction, IT, hospitality, energy and corporate services. It covers long-term roles, fixed-term contracts and employer-sponsored project assignments.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Work Visa from Thailand?
Thai citizens with a confirmed employment offer from a Saudi-based employer can apply. A Saudi-licensed company or government entity must sponsor you and obtain the approved work authorisation.
Foreign residents of Thailand can also apply if they hold a valid Thai residence visa or work permit and have a confirmed Saudi job offer.
Visa approval depends on valid employer sponsorship and authorised work permission. Thai nationality or residency alone does not qualify you for a Saudi Work Visa.
