Saudi Arabia has launched a new Temporary Work Visa to attract skilled short-term workers.
The new visa is easier to acquire than the previous Work Visit Visa and is not limited to technical and specific roles. It is also open to a wider range of workers, including female workers above the age of 40.
To apply for the Temporary Work Visa, a Saudi company must sponsor the visa and register with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. The visa usually lasts for one year and allows entry into Saudi Arabia for periods of up to 90 days at any one time.
The new visa is a sign of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to attracting foreign talent and supporting its economic development.
