Saudi Arabia Work Visa

To work in Saudi Arabia, obtaining a residence permit (Iqama) is essential. The Iqama authorises employment for a designated period, usually up to two years.
At Apostille and Certification Services Ltd, we provide complete support throughout the work visa and Iqama application process, managing every step on your behalf. Once approved, you can travel to Saudi Arabia and begin your professional duties.
