How to Get a Business Visit Visa to Saudi Arabia: by J K Management Consultancies

Saudi Arabia is rapidly evolving as a business hub, welcoming international companies and investors as part of its Vision 2030 initiative. If you’re looking to explore Saudi’s business environment, network, or conduct meetings, a business visit visa is your gateway. In this comprehensive guide by J K Management Consultancies, we outline the steps, requirements, and valuable tips for obtaining your visa.


1. What is a Saudi Business Visit Visa?

The Saudi business visit visa is intended for professionals seeking to engage in business activities in Saudi Arabia for short periods, such as attending meetings, exploring opportunities, or forming business partnerships. This visa does not permit employment or any paid work activities; it strictly covers business visits.


2. Types of Saudi Business Visit Visas

There are two primary types of business visit visas:

  • Single-Entry Visa: Generally valid for three months and allows a single entry with a maximum stay of 30 days.
  • Multiple-Entry Visa: Valid for up to one year, allowing multiple entries, with each stay typically limited to 90 days (specific terms may vary by nationality).


3. Requirements for the Saudi Business Visit Visa

To obtain a business visit visa for Saudi Arabia, you will need:

  • Invitation Letter from a Saudi Entity: This letter must be issued by a Saudi company or government organization and endorsed by the Saudi Chamber of Commerce.
  • Passport: Valid for at least six months beyond the entry date.
  • Passport-Sized Photograph: Meeting Saudi visa photo standards.
  • Completed Visa Application Form: Can be completed online or at a Saudi consulate.
  • Proof of Business Activity: In some cases, documents like a resume or a company introduction letter may be required.
  • Visa Fee Payment: Fees vary based on nationality and visa type.
  • Proof of Residency (if applying outside your home country).

Pro Tip: If you're working with J K Management Consultancies, our experts can help you prepare and submit all necessary documentation for a hassle-free process.


4. Step-by-Step Application Process

Step 1: Get an Invitation Letter

Contact a Saudi-based sponsor or business partner to issue an invitation letter. This letter is mandatory and serves as proof of your visit’s business purpose.

Step 2: Submit Your Application

Depending on your nationality, you may be eligible to apply online through the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) portal: MOFA Saudi Arabia. Alternatively, you can apply through a registered visa agency or a Saudi consulate in your country.

Step 3: Pay the Visa Fee

Visa fees vary by country and visa type (single or multiple entry). Confirm the fees on the MOFA Visa Fees Page before payment.

Step 4: Processing Time

Processing typically takes between 3-10 business days. For urgent cases, expedited processing may be available through consulates or agencies.

Step 5: Receive Your Visa

Once approved, you will receive either a visa stamp in your passport or an e-visa you can print and carry.

5. Important Considerations for Business Travelers

  • Health Insurance: Saudi law mandates visitors have health insurance during their stay. Some business visas include insurance; verify coverage or consider additional options.
  • Activities Restriction: A business visa only allows business-related activities, not employment.
  • Dress Code and Etiquette: Business travelers are expected to respect local customs, dressing modestly, especially in formal settings.
  • Female Travelers: Women traveling alone can apply for a business visit visa, though travel policies may vary based on nationality.


6. Renewal and Extensions

If you require an extended stay, contact the authorities in Saudi Arabia before your visa expires. Overstaying a visa can lead to penalties and restrictions on future visits.
