Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa

Who Is Eligible to Apply from Canada

Canadian Citizens
Professionals and business leaders in Canada who hold a confirmed business invitation from a Saudi-registered company are eligible to apply for the Saudi Business Visit Visa.
This visa is ideal for those traveling to Saudi Arabia for corporate meetings, trade discussions, or partnership negotiations.

Foreign Residents in Canada
Non-Canadian nationals legally residing in Canada with a valid residence permit or long-term visa can also apply, provided they have a MOFA-approved invitation from a Saudi company or partner organization.

Saudi Visa Agency supports both Canadian citizens and foreign residents by managing the entire process — including document preparation, invitation verification, and embassy submission — ensuring compliance and timely approval.
