FAQs
- Who is eligible to apply from Germany?
Both German citizens and foreign residents with valid residence permits can apply, provided they have a confirmed job offer or project assignment from a Saudi company authorized to sponsor visas. - Are my German-issued certificates accepted in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, but all educational and professional certificates must be attested by German authorities (e.g. Auswärtiges Amt) and legalized by the Saudi Embassy in Berlin. We manage this entire attestation process for you. - What is the validity of the Saudi Temporary Work Visa?
The visa is typically valid for up to 90 days, with the option to extend if your project or assignment requires a longer stay in Saudi Arabia. - Can I apply if I’m a foreign national living in Germany?
Yes. If you hold a valid German residence permit and a Saudi employer authorization, you are eligible to apply. Where do I submit my application in Germany?
All applications are processed through the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Berlin or the authorized visa application center. We coordinate the submission and track the progress for you.
