A Saudi Iqama for a Bangladeshi owner or manager, sponsored by your own company
Your Saudi company can sponsor you or your Bangladeshi manager for residency. Employer accounts come first, then the visa and a Wafid medical in Bangladesh; the Iqama is issued after arrival, and our employee in Saudi Arabia deals with the Jawazat for you.

- Medical done in Bangladesh
- Fixed fee for the full order
How it worksResidency for a Bangladeshi owner runs through the Saudi company itself. The company opens its employer accounts, requests a visa for the manager's role, and the manager clears the Wafid medical in Bangladesh before flying out. The Iqama is issued in Saudi Arabia, and from then on the company pays a monthly expat levy and 2% employer GOSI for that manager. It comes after the Saudi LLC is formed and its bank account is open.
Who does what, where
Getting a Bangladeshi manager to Saudi Arabia: who handles each part
Getting a Bangladeshi manager to Saudi Arabia splits into five parts, and only two of them, the Wafid medical and the flight, are the manager's own job. Our employee in Saudi Arabia handles the employer accounts and the Iqama.
| Part | Where | Who | What you need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employer accounts | Saudi Arabia | Our employee in Saudi Arabia | The company's CR |
| Visa and contract | Saudi Arabia (Qiwa) | Us, for the company | The manager's role and salary |
| Wafid medical | Bangladesh | The manager | Passport; booked on wafid.com |
| Travel | Dhaka → Saudi Arabia | The manager | The issued visa; ask BMET whether its emigration clearance applies |
| Iqama | Saudi Arabia (Jawazat) | Our employee in Saudi Arabia | Arrival in the Kingdom |

Residency questions
Saudi residency for Bangladeshis: your questions
Can a Bangladeshi owner live in Saudi Arabia on their own company?
A Bangladeshi owner can live in Saudi Arabia on an Iqama sponsored by their own company, as its manager.
Which medical does a Bangladeshi manager take?
The Wafid medical, run under the Gulf Health Council for people going to work or live in Gulf states. It is booked on wafid.com, the centre is assigned by city, and it is taken in Bangladesh before the Saudi visa is processed.
Does the manager need BMET clearance?
Bangladesh's Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) issues emigration clearance for people going abroad to work. Ask BMET whether it applies to a manager travelling on your own company's visa; we raise it in your plan.
Beyond salary, what does the company pay for a Bangladeshi employee?
A monthly expat levy, 2% employer GOSI and the residency renewal fees. The Saudi government sets the levy rate; we confirm it in your plan.
Does the owner have to live in Saudi Arabia?
No. You can own and run the company from Bangladesh; residency makes banking and hiring easier.
Can I bring my spouse and children to Saudi Arabia?
Saudi family-visa rules look at your role and salary; we tell you on the consultation whether your family can join you.
