Employment Visa Document Package
Employment Visa Document Package
Securing employment in Saudi Arabia requires a carefully orchestrated set of attested documents that satisfy multiple government authorities simultaneously. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat), and your Saudi employer each have specific documentation requirements that must be fulfilled before an employment visa is issued. A single missing attestation stamp or incorrectly formatted document can stall the entire visa process by weeks.
The Employment Visa Document Package from GreenAttest consolidates all required attestation steps into a single managed service. This typically includes your educational certificates with SACM verification, professional experience letters, police clearance certificates, medical fitness reports, and passport documentation. Each document passes through its required authentication chain, from notarization through MOFA attestation and embassy stamping, with our team managing every handoff and deadline.
GreenAttest designed this package specifically for the Saudi employment market, incorporating current MHRSD requirements, employer-specific documentation standards, and Jawazat visa processing rules. Our Dubai-based team coordinates with your employer's HR department and Saudi government liaison office to ensure your document package aligns with their exact specifications. We provide a single timeline and point of contact for your entire attestation portfolio, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple separate processes.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Request police clearance certificates early, as these have a six-month validity window and must still be valid when your visa application is submitted in Saudi Arabia.
- Ask your Saudi employer for their specific document checklist before beginning the attestation process, since requirements can vary between companies and professional categories.
- Keep digital scans of every document at each stage of attestation as a backup record of the complete authentication chain.

The full package typically requires 15 to 20 business days, as multiple documents progress through their respective attestation chains simultaneously. GreenAttest runs parallel processes wherever possible to compress the overall timeline. Documents that arrive pre-attested from the issuing country can further reduce the total processing period.
If any document encounters an issue during attestation, our team identifies the specific problem and works with you to resolve it immediately, whether that means obtaining a corrected original, additional supporting documents, or an alternative attestation pathway. We do not hold up the rest of your package while resolving individual document issues.
