Saudi Business Visit Visa Requirements for UAE Citizens & Residents

Applying for a Saudi Business Visit Visa from the UAE requires precision and attention to detail, both of which we deliver at every step. We coordinate your invitation, manage embassy submissions, and finalize visa stamping on your behalf. Our corporate clients trust us to simplify complex procedures and keep their business operations moving without interruption.

Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa

The Saudi Business Visit Visa is issued to professionals traveling for short-term commercial or investment activities. It allows you to visit Saudi Arabia for business discussions, meetings, or training sessions — without requiring a local employment contract.

Depending on your requirements, you can obtain:

  • Single Entry Visa – for short visits up to 30 or 90 days.

  • Multiple Entry Visa – valid for up to one year, ideal for frequent business travelers.

All visas are processed through the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Saudi Embassy in the UAE.

Eligibility

Applicants must either represent a registered company in the UAE or have an official invitation from a Saudi-based organization.
Both UAE nationals and expatriates with valid residence visas are eligible to apply.

This visa is ideal for:

  • Company directors, executives, and consultants

  • Engineers, architects, and specialists attending short-term projects

  • Investors exploring Saudi opportunities

  • Business delegates and corporate representatives

Direct Access to Saudi Ministries

  • We are not a vendor or reseller — we operate two offices in Riyadh and one in Dammam, giving us direct access to Saudi ministry systems.
  • This means real-time updates, faster processing, and embassy-compliant applications — we actually serve as the knowledge engine behind many global immigration firms, law firms and consulting firms such as Big4.
