Business Immigration to Saudi Arabia

Build a Company in the Gulf's Most Strategic Market

Saudi Arabia’s position at the center of Middle East trade, logistics, and finance is no coincidence. Its booming private sector, pro-investor policies, and deep capital pools make it the clear choice for serious founders and foreign investors. Whether you’re entering logistics, fintech, contracting, or specialized consultancy, the Saudi market offers scale, stability, and speed. But entry demands precision, knowledge of the system, and local compliance.

And that’s where Magyar comes in. We make the process seamless for you without any stress.

The Process:

Step-by-Step Company Formation & Residency Process

1. Initial Eligibility Screening

We begin by assessing your business idea, ownership structure, and personal background. This protects you from delays and flags issues before they become blocks. Magyar handles all reviews discreetly and confidentially.

2. Commercial Registration With the Ministry of Commerce

We handle your commercial license application from start to finish. That includes name reservation, Articles of Association, and coordinating with the Ministry until your company is officially listed.

3. Approval from the Saudi Investment Authority (for Foreign-Owned Shares)

If your business includes foreign shareholders, we secure clearance from the Saudi Investment Authority (SAGIA/MISA). This approval is mandatory, and we guide you through it with no missteps or missing pieces.

4. Municipality License and Lease Agreement for Office Space

We help you locate an approved commercial address and obtain your municipal license. This step is required before opening a business file, and we make sure your lease meets all zoning and regulatory standards.

5. Issuance of Company File and Tax Number

Once your licenses are approved, we obtain your company file with the Ministry of Interior and your Tax ID with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority. Magyar manages this without you needing to queue or deal with bureaucracy.

6. Employment Contract and GOSI Registration

Whether you’re sponsoring yourself or hiring staff, we draft the employment contract, file it with the appropriate ministry, and register you in the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI).

7. Residence Visa Issuance

With your business operational, we secure your residency visa. This includes medical tests, biometric appointments, and issuance of the Muqeem ID. Magyar schedules and prepares everything for you.

8. Immigration File Opening to Sponsor Family

Once your residency is active, we open your immigration file so you can legally sponsor your spouse, children, or dependents. We manage all the documentation and follow-ups until they arrive with you.
