AL KHOBAR, SAUDI ARABIA – May 20, 2024 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, announces a new office opening in Al Khobar in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This office will be the firm’s 63rd location and second office in Saudi Arabia.

“Saudi Arabia is a key market for our clients, and this second office in the Kingdom allows us to better serve their needs and help them grow in this dynamic region. In addition, because of our extensive knowledge of the region, we are well-positioned to help clients navigate the Kingdom’s unique immigration and global mobility landscape,” said Fragomen Co-Chair Lance Kaplan.

The new office is located in the center of KSA’s export-import activity, serving a variety of key industries including oil and gas, logistics, engineering, construction and technology. The firm’s operations in Al Khobar will be managed by Partner Haider Hussain and Senior Manager Adnan Alam.

“We’ll be expanding on services we already provide in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including our mobility advisory and adjacent services for employees and dependents,” said Hussain. “Since the implementation of the Saudi Regional Headquarters program, multinational companies continue to apply for licenses to establish regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia. With this new office, we’re well-positioned to continue supporting companies coming to the region.”

The opening of Fragomen’s office in Al Khobar will expand the firm’s ability to serve client needs across the entire Middle East region, building on an already robust presence in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai and Riyadh.

“Saudi Arabia’s economic environment and forward-thinking initiatives align perfectly with our strategic growth and more importantly, that of our clients. This second office further enhances our ability to serve the influx of companies into the Kingdom with greater efficiency,” added Fragomen Middle East and Africa Managing Partner, Murtaza Khan.
