Saudi Work Visa for Hungarian Citizens & Residents
The Saudi Work Visa enables Hungarian professionals and foreign residents to live and work in Saudi Arabia under the sponsorship of an approved employer. We oversee the full visa journey — from MOFA authorization and document attestation to final stamping at the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Budapest — ensuring a seamless and compliant process.
Saudi Arabia Work Visa
The Saudi Work Visa is required for anyone who has received a job offer or employment contract from a Saudi company.
Once issued, it allows entry into the Kingdom, where your employer converts it into a residence permit (Iqama), granting you legal status to live and work in Saudi Arabia long-term.
Who Can Apply from Hungary
Hungarian nationals who have secured employment with a Saudi-registered employer.
Foreign residents in Hungary holding valid residence permits and job offers from Saudi companies.
Skilled professionals in fields such as engineering, healthcare, finance, IT, and project management.
