Saudi Work Visa from New York for US Citizens and Residents
Saudi Work Visa from New York
What Is the Saudi Work Visa?
The Saudi Work Visa allows a foreign professional to enter Saudi Arabia for employment with an authorised Saudi employer. After arrival, the employer completes the process for the employee’s residence permit, known as an Iqama.
This visa is designed for:
- Skilled professionals with confirmed employment contracts
- Employees transferring to Saudi branches of multinational companies
- Engineers, consultants, healthcare and education professionals
- Technical and managerial staff taking up roles in the Kingdom
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Work Visa from New York?
US citizens living in New York or nearby areas can apply when they have a confirmed job offer from a Saudi company.
Foreign residents in New York may also apply if they are legally residing in the United States with a valid residence permit or long-term visa and have the required work authorisation from their Saudi employer.
