RIYADH – October 3, 2022 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, announces the opening of its fifth office in the Middle East as it enters the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with an office in Riyadh. Partner Haider Hussain, will head the office, supported by Middle East and Africa Managing Partner Murtaza Khan.

Building on its 15-year presence in the region, the firm brings a full range of services to Saudi Arabia to assist clients already operating in the Kingdom and to guide companies that are investing in Saudi Arabia as part of the country’s Vision 2030 economic blueprint. Fragomen opened its first office in the Middle East in 2006 in Dubai.

“The opening of our office in Saudi Arabia will further strengthen our regional presence and will enable us to provide the best-in-class advisory services to global and local companies whose presence is key as the country embarks on an economic transformation,” said Austin Fragomen, the firm’s Chairman.

“We are thrilled to continue our regional expansion into Saudi Arabia. Given the country’s economic boom and the growing presence of multinational corporations, we are well positioned to provide unparalleled assistance to ensure seamless movement of the international and local workforce,” said Khan.

“As the largest economy in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia continues to attract foreign investors, many of whom need expert guidance to navigate the country’s sophisticated and nuanced regulatory framework, such as the quota system and nationalization program. Our extensive knowledge of the region, its laws and its customs enables us to effectively address the needs of our local clients across a multitude of sectors, including energy, technology, infrastructure, consulting and defense,” added Hussain.

Hussain along with a number of professionals, will provide clients with strategic support for companies that wish to establish or expand their operations in Saudi Arabia.
