Saudi Arabia Temporary Work Visa

Processing time: 2-4 working days

Saudi Arabia Temporary Work Visa

A Saudi Arabia Temporary Work Visa is required for foreign nationals who intend to work in the Kingdom for a short-term period, typically linked to specific projects, assignments, or seasonal employment. This visa allows the holder to reside and perform paid work in Saudi Arabia for a limited duration, as defined in the visa or contract terms.

Who Needs a Saudi Temporary Work Visa?

This visa is necessary for individuals who:

  • Have been contracted for short-term work or project-based assignments in Saudi Arabia

  • Are technical experts, specialists, or consultants invited for limited-duration services

  • Are deployed temporarily through international companies or subcontractors

  • Require legal authorization to perform paid work without entering into long-term employment in the Kingdom

 

Important Note:
A Temporary Work Visa is distinct from a Business Visa. While a Business Visa is suitable for meetings or non-remunerated activities, any form of paid employment—even if short-term—requires a valid Temporary Work Visa.

تأشيرة العمل المؤقت في المملكة العربية السعودية

تُعد تأشيرة العمل المؤقت في المملكة العربية السعودية متطلبًا أساسيًا للوافدين الأجانب الراغبين في أداء أعمال لفترة قصيرة داخل المملكة، وغالبًا ما تكون مرتبطة بمشاريع محددة، مهام مؤقتة، أو وظائف موسمية. تتيح هذه التأشيرة لحاملها الإقامة والعمل بأجر في السعودية لمدة محدودة حسب ما تنص عليه التأشيرة أو العقد.

من يحتاج إلى تأشيرة العمل المؤقت؟

تُطلب هذه التأشيرة في الحالات التالية:

  • من تم التعاقد معهم لأداء أعمال أو مهام قصيرة المدى في المملكة

  • الخبراء الفنيون، المتخصصون، أو الاستشاريون المدعوون لتقديم خدمات لفترة محددة

  • العاملون المؤقتون ضمن شركات دولية أو من خلال مقاولي الباطن

  • من يحتاجون إلى تصريح قانوني لأداء عمل مأجور دون الدخول في علاقة توظيف طويلة الأجل داخل المملكة

 

ملاحظة هامة:
تختلف تأشيرة العمل المؤقت عن تأشيرة الأعمال. إذ تُستخدم تأشيرة الأعمال لحضور الاجتماعات أو الأنشطة غير المدفوعة فقط، بينما يُشترط الحصول على تأشيرة عمل مؤقتة لأي نوع من أنواع العمل المأجور، حتى وإن كان قصير المدى.

Unfortunately not. Whether you get a single or multiple Saudi visa depends completely on the visa invitation authorisation letter that your Saudi sponsor applied for and obtained. Therefore, if you would like to change your visa you must ask your sponsor to apply specifically for either a single or multiple when they apply for a visa authorisation letter.

This means that you are applying for a visa from the Saudi Arabian embassy in London. Therefore, if it says this on your visa invitation letter, you cannot apply for a Saudi visa with this specific invitation letter from any other city (e.g. Paris). Equally, if it says 'Paris', then you will not be able to apply for a Saudi visa in London and will need to find an agent abroad.
