As covered above, foreign workers from outside the EU/EEA will need both a work permit and a visa. There are several different options for visas, but the most applicable for the majority of foreign workers will be either the short-stay visa (C-type) or long-stay (D-type). The D visa is valid for stays of longer than 90 days.
For the work permit, the employer in question must complete the application. It is important to note that employers must also demonstrate that no EU/EEA nationals are suitable for the role in question before they can apply. Work permit applications should be filed with the Inspectorate General for Immigration and may take several weeks to be processed.
Foreign workers can apply for a visa themselves. The relevant application forms for visas can be found online through the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Saudi Arabia has an annual quota for the number of work permits it issues. Additionally, permit application can take several weeks to be processed, so it is important to factor this into your decision making and apply as early as possible.
Additionally, employees can only apply for their visa once they have their work permit, and they must submit their application within 60 days of the work permit being issued
