How to Apply for a Saudi Work Visa from France
- Job Offer from Saudi Arabia: You must have a confirmed job offer from a Saudi employer registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD).
- Visa Authorization Number: The employer will arrange a work visa authorization (Block Visa) and provide you with a Visa Authorization Slip or number through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
- Medical Test & Police Clearance: You will need to complete a medical exam at an approved clinic and get a police clearance certificate (Casier Judiciaire) from the French authorities. We help arrange and check all required documents.
- Document Attestation: Your degree and police clearance must be attested by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and legalized by the Saudi Embassy in Paris. We handle this step to ensure everything is properly certified.
- Visa Application & Stamping: After completing all requirements, we submit your application to the Saudi Embassy or authorized visa agent. Once approved, your passport will be stamped with the Saudi work visa, allowing you to travel legally.
