MISA licence
MISA licensing for Saudi Arabia from Bangladesh, from your RJSC papers
Bangladeshi companies and founders register with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Investment (MISA) before forming a company. Send us your RJSC papers as PDFs; we tell you which need the MOFA e-Apostille, file the registration under your power of attorney and plan the Bangladesh Bank step at the same time.
- e-Apostille, no embassy queue
- Calls in Bangladesh time
- Fixed fee, quoted first
The short answerA Bangladeshi investor gets a MISA licence, now MISA investment registration, by filing RJSC documents that carry a MOFA e-Apostille with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Investment. Bangladesh has used the Apostille Convention since 30 March 2025, so there is no Saudi embassy step. MISA aims to process a complete file in 10 working days. The papers come first (see e-apostilling Bangladeshi documents), and the company itself follows MISA (see forming the Saudi LLC from Bangladesh). This is the Bangladesh route; the Bangladesh country guide covers the whole journey.
Numbers that matter
Dates and timings for a Bangladeshi MISA file
A Bangladeshi MISA file runs on dates set by two bodies: the HCCH for the apostille, and MISA's Investor Guide (13th edition, 2026) for processing and payment.

From Dhaka to MISA
How MISA registration works from Bangladesh
A Bangladeshi company's MISA registration takes five steps, three in Bangladesh and two in Saudi Arabia. Since March 2025 the apostille is applied for online through MOFA instead of at the Saudi embassy in Dhaka. The worldwide MISA registration guide explains the Saudi side for co-owners from other countries.

Papers from Bangladesh
Documents for MISA registration from Bangladesh
MISA's own list is short: your RJSC certificate and last year's audited accounts, plus the parent's CR if a parent of another nationality owns your company. We add the rest, including the board resolution our Saudi legal partner needs for the articles and power of attorney. Most delays we see are document mistakes, so we check every name and date against the passports before anything is stamped.

MISA questions from Bangladesh
What Bangladeshi investors ask about MISA
Is the MISA licence still issued?
It was replaced in February 2025 by MISA investment registration, which Bangladeshi investors still complete before forming a company.
Do Bangladesh documents need the Saudi embassy?
Bangladeshi documents skip the Saudi embassy: since 30 March 2025 they are apostilled through MOFA's e-Apostille service instead.
Can a Bangladeshi company own 100% through MISA?
Yes, where the activity is open to foreign investment. Some carry extra conditions, which the activity check catches.
Does MISA need Bangladesh Bank approval?
MISA doesn't ask for it, but equity can't leave Bangladesh without it. We plan both together.
How long does MISA take?
MISA aims for 10 working days for a complete file. The Bangladeshi paperwork before it usually takes longer.
When does MISA ask for payment?
MISA notifies its fee when it approves the registration, and payment is due within 15 business days; an annual update fee follows.
Can a Bangladeshi individual register with MISA?
Yes. A passport takes the place of the RJSC papers, and we tell you which supporting papers MISA wants in your case. If the money leaves Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Bank step still applies.
