Saudi Temporary Work Visa for Tunisia Citizens and Residents

For professionals and project teams in Tunisia assigned to short-term projects in Saudi Arabia, a well-organized visa process is essential for ensuring compliance, efficiency, and smooth mobilization. At Saudi Visa Agency, we uphold the highest standards of accuracy, confidentiality, and reliability, supporting corporate clients, contractors, and technical specialists through every stage of the Saudi Temporary Work Visa process — from MOFA authorization to final embassy submission.

Saudi Temporary Work Visa

The Temporary Work Visa is a short-term employment visa that authorizes professionals to enter Saudi Arabia and work under a Saudi sponsor for a limited duration.

It’s designed for companies, contractors, and consultants who need to deploy their teams for specific projects, installations, training programs, or maintenance work.

Unlike the standard work visa, this visa does not require an Iqama (residence permit), making it a faster and simpler solution for short-term professional engagements.

Who Can Apply?

You can apply for a Saudi Temporary Work Visa from Tunisia if:

  • You are a Tunisian citizen or foreign resident in Tunisia.

  • You have been invited by a Saudi-registered company to work on a short-term assignment.

  • Your Saudi sponsor has obtained MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) authorization.

  • You have a valid passport (minimum six-month validity).

This visa is most common for engineers, technical teams, consultants, auditors, and corporate trainers deployed to Saudi Arabia on short-term contracts.

Attestation and Legalization

Before submitting your visa application, key documents — such as your degree certificate, work verification letter, and police clearance — must be:

  1. Attested by the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and

  2. Legalized by the Saudi Embassy in Tunis.

Our agency ensures all paperwork is accurately prepared, translated, and authenticated to meet official Saudi requirements.
