Saudi Business Visit Visas: Managing the Impact on your Workforce

Fragomen Partners, Haider Hussain and Abeer Husseini will speak on the upcoming Professional Services Committee Webinar on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 11:00 AM (GMT+3), hosted by AmCham, open to their members across all regions in Saudi Arabia.

Professional services firms operating in Saudi Arabia are adapting to recent changes in multiple-entry business visa availability, which have impacted the ability to deploy regional talent for Saudi-based engagements. This shift has increased the need for forward planning and reliance on locally based teams, driving many firms to reassess their resourcing models and explore onshore staffing through Iqama sponsorship.

While this supports long-term localization goals, it also introduces key considerations around compliance, Saudization, and Nitaqat requirements, particularly as firms transition talent from regional markets.

This interactive session will feature members of the Professional Services Committee sharing practical insights and peer experiences on:

• Adapting resourcing models amid current visa constraints
• Key considerations for Iqama and onshore staffing
• Strategies for managing and improving Saudization metrics
• Short-term solutions such as training programs for Saudi nationals to maintain flexibility while supporting localization objectives
