Saudi residence visa

Saudi Work Visa Process from India

Overview of the Saudi work visa process for Indian applicants, including WAFID medical, VFS and stamping.

Who this page is for

This page is for applicants travelling to Saudi Arabia for employment. The process is usually handled with support from the employer or recruitment channel, but the applicant still needs to complete medical and VFS steps correctly.

Before WAFID

Make sure your visa authorization and passport details are correct before booking the WAFID appointment. Any mismatch in name, date of birth or passport number can create delays later.

Medical and VFS

Work visa applicants usually complete the WAFID medical, obtain fit status, attend VFS for document submission and biometrics, then wait for visa stamping.

Practical advice

Carry printed documents, keep cash for the medical center, reach the center in the morning and do not delay VFS after getting fit status.
