Saudi Temporary Work Visa for New York Citizens and Residents
Saudi Temporary Work Visa from New York
What Is the Saudi Temporary Work Visa?
The Saudi Temporary Work Visa allows foreign professionals to travel to the Kingdom for short-term employment or project-based work under the sponsorship of a licensed Saudi company.
It is suited to:
- Consultants and technical specialists working on limited-duration projects
- Engineers, technicians and contractors on short-term assignments
- Experts carrying out training, installation or inspection work
The source page states that the visa is typically valid for up to 90 days, with a possible single extension for another 90 days if approved by the Saudi sponsor and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

US citizens based in New York or nearby areas can apply when a Saudi employer has arranged the required temporary work authorisation.
