According to labour portal Qiwa, the move enables enterprises to issue a temporary Saudi work visa whereby the holder can work in the kingdom for three months from the entry date.
This temporary Saudi work visa can be extended for a similar period and it allows the holder to work for a specific period without the need to get a work permit and residency.
The request for a temporary Saudi work visa must be submitted by the business owner or a commissioner on Qiwa business. The visa is electronic and is valid within one year.
According to regulations for the temporary Saudi work visa, the enterprise must be active and have a valid commercial registration except for the activities that do not require commercial registration.
