Saudi Temporary Work Visa for Houston Citizens and Residents
Saudi Temporary Work Visa from Houston, Texas
What Is the Saudi Temporary Work Visa?

The visa is typically valid for up to 90 days, with the option to extend once for another 90 days if approved by the Saudi sponsor and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
