Generic Requirements for Saudi Temporary Work Visa
Saudi Arabia Temporary Work Visa
A Saudi Temporary Work Visa lets you work in the Kingdom for a defined project period of up to 90 days, or seasonal assignment. It is suitable for consultants, technicians, engineers, and specialists who need to work on-site in Saudi Arabia and conduct hands-on activities without becoming a legal or tax resident of Saudi Arabia.
The visa is issued based on a formal job offer and requires sponsorship from a Saudi-based employer, who must obtain approval from the Ministry of Human Resources & Social Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) before the visa can be processed.
