Saudi Work Visa for Romanian Citizens & Residents
The Saudi Work Visa enables Romanian nationals and residents to work in Saudi Arabia under an approved employer. Through direct coordination with MOFA and the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Bucharest, Saudi Visa Agency Romania ensures your application is accurate, compliant, and processed without delays.
Saudi Arabia Work Visa
The Saudi Work Visa is issued to individuals who have secured employment in Saudi Arabia.
Once in the Kingdom, this visa is converted into a residence permit (Iqama), allowing the holder to live and work legally under their Saudi employer’s sponsorship.
This visa applies to:
Long-term employment contracts under a Saudi sponsor
Skilled professionals in engineering, healthcare, construction, IT, and finance
Technical experts, consultants, and specialists engaged in Saudi-based projects
Who Can Apply from Romania
- Romanian Citizens
Romanian nationals who have received a confirmed job offer or signed contract from a Saudi company are eligible to apply for the Saudi Work Visa.
- Foreign Residents in Romania
Foreign nationals residing in Romania with valid residence permits can also apply, provided they have a confirmed job offer and MOFA authorization from a registered Saudi employer.
Our team at Saudi Visa Agency assists both Romanian citizens and foreign residents in managing the entire visa process from start to finish.
