Saudi Arabia Work Visa From London

Saudi Work Visa For UK Residents, British Citizens & Foreign Nationals in the UK

Applying for a Saudi Arabia Work Visa from London is a mandatory step for UK residents, British citizens, and foreign nationals living in the UK who have secured employment in the Kingdom. Whether you hold a UK passport or live in the UK under residency status, a Saudi Work Visa is required before travelling, as it grants legal permission to live and work in Saudi Arabia under an Iqama (residency permit). Applicants applying from the UK, including London applicants and UK-based companies sending staff to Saudi Arabia, must complete a structured process that includes Embassy submissions, document verification, medical reports, and official approvals tied to the Saudi employment contract.
