What Is a Free Work Visa
A Free/Azad Visa lets you enter Saudi Arabia without a pre-arranged job. After arrival, you must secure an employer, transfer your sponsorship (naqal kafala), and obtain your iqama (residence permit) before you can legally start work.
- A Free Visa allows entry to Saudi without job contract.
- Our program supports up to 1 year of stay, with renewal possible depending on sponsor arrangements.
- WAFID (formerly GAMCA) medical clearance is mandatory for Saudi visa stamping.
