Saudi Work Visa for Thailand Citizens and Residents
For professionals based in Thailand who have secured employment in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Work Visa provides a compliant pathway to live and work in the Kingdom. We handle the entire application process, delivering a seamless and stress-free experience.
Saudi Arabia Work Visa
Who Can Apply from Thailand
The Saudi Work Visa is available to qualified applicants residing in Thailand who meet Saudi employment and sponsorship requirements, including:
Thai nationals and legally residing foreign professionals in Thailand with a confirmed employment offer from a Saudi-based employer.
Skilled professionals and technical specialists in industries such as engineering, healthcare, construction, IT, hospitality, energy, and corporate services.
Individuals recruited for permanent roles, fixed-term contracts, or employer-sponsored project assignments within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Applicants sponsored by a Saudi-licensed company or government entity holding an approved work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD).
Visa approval is strictly based on valid Saudi employer sponsorship and authorized work permission. Thai nationality or residency status alone does not confer eligibility without an approved sponsor.
