🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa
For individuals planning to travel to Saudi Arabia for business purposes, the Business Visit Visa applies to those who intend to attend meetings, conferences, commercial agreements, business collaborations, or trade fairs within the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia places great importance on the accuracy of documents and the professional status of the applicant during the visa process. Therefore, preparing all documents completely and correctly is crucial for a successful application. Applications can be safely completed without a personal visit through Marsel Visa consultancy services.
🏢 Required Documents for Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa
The documents required for a Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa may vary depending on the applicant’s professional status and invitation details. However, the following documents are generally requested.
The passport used for the Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned travel date. It must contain at least two blank visa pages. A color photocopy of the passport’s first page should also be added to the application file.
Two biometric photographs, sized 4.5x6 cm, with a white background, recent, and clear, are required. The photos must have been taken within the last 6 months.
The Saudi Arabia visa application form must be filled out completely with accurate and up-to-date information. A biometric photograph should be affixed to the top right corner of the form, and it must be signed by the applicant. The form should accurately reflect the applicant’s personal details, purpose of travel, and intended duration of stay.
The visa petition letter must be written in English on the company’s letterhead, addressed to the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia, and signed by an authorized company representative. It should clearly state the applicant’s position, travel purpose, and planned visit duration. The petition must also be certified by the Chamber of Commerce.
A bank account statement for the last 3 months, stamped and signed by the bank, must be submitted. This document demonstrates the applicant’s financial capability to cover travel expenses.
Company documents such as the tax certificate, signature circular, activity certificate (issued in English), and trade registry gazette copy must be included in the file. These documents confirm that the company is actively operating and that the business relationship is legitimate.
Salary slips for the last 4 months must be stamped and signed by the employer. Additionally, an SGK employment entry declaration (social security registration) should be provided.
A copy of the national ID card must be submitted, showing both sides clearly and legibly with the Turkish ID number visible.
An invitation letter must be sent by the inviting company in Saudi Arabia. The business field of the inviting company must be consistent with that of the Turkish company. A color-scanned copy of the invitation is sufficient for the application.

📌 How Long Does It Take to Get a Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa?
Saudi Arabia Business Visit Visa applications are generally processed within approximately 7 business days. However, this duration may vary depending on the workload of the Saudi Consulate, official holidays, or the applicant’s nationality. In some cases, the Consulate may request additional documents. Therefore, it is advisable to apply at least 2–3 weeks before your planned travel date.
Ensuring that all your documents are complete, consistent, and up-to-date will help shorten the process. Submitting incorrect or missing documents can delay processing or result in visa refusal. The authority to evaluate and finalize business visa applications lies solely with the Saudi Arabian Consulate.
