Iqamas, work permits, GOSI, WPS payroll files, renewals across every portal. This is the unglamorous work that keeps a Saudi entity legal, and it is what our Government Relations Officers do all day. Two packages, priced for small teams, run by people who know the portals first-hand.
Why Outsource
Here is what an unmanaged employee file actually costs in Saudi Arabia. An Iqama that expires draws a fine and blocks that employee's banking and travel. A GOSI wage that does not match the Qiwa contract surfaces at inspection. A late WPS upload flags the company in Mudad, and a Nitaqat downgrade quietly freezes your next work permit. None of these are exotic risks. They are what happens by default when nobody owns the dates across MISA, HRSD, ZATCA, Qiwa, GOSI, Mudad and Muqeem. Our Government Relations Officers own them for you.
Rules change without much announcement in the Kingdom. Our GROs work the MISA, HRSD, ZATCA and GOSI portals daily, so changes reach you as an instruction, not as a penalty letter.
Work permits, Iqama issuance, transfers and renewals, tracked from 90 days out. A lapsed Iqama also breaks the employee's dependents' status, which is why we never let one get close.
Mudad registration, WPS file uploads, and payroll assistance ensure your salary disbursements are fully compliant with Saudi labour law and Wage Protection System requirements.
Maintaining the right Saudization ratio protects your Platinum Nitaqat status, unlocks government benefits, and keeps your licence in good standing with HRSD.
MISA, Commercial Registration, Chamber of Commerce, Muqeem and Qiwa renewals, all on one calendar and filed early. An expired CR freezes the bank account, so this list is not optional admin.
Unlike generic service providers, your account is managed by a dedicated Government Relations Officer with direct experience across Saudi portals and ministries.
Package Comparison
Both packages are structured for companies with up to 2 employees and are subject to a minimum 3-month engagement. Government fees are billed separately at cost.

Package Selection Guide
The honest dividing line is simple: if you employ or plan to employ any expatriate, you need Full, because everything visa-related sits there. Basic exists for stable, Saudi-national teams in maintenance mode. The signals below spell that out.
Entry-Level Coverage
Your entity is already established, your workforce is stable, and your primary need is ongoing compliance maintenance rather than active employee onboarding or visa processing.
Reconsider if…
Comprehensive Coverage
Your entity is actively operating, hiring, or onboarding expatriate staff. You need the whole employee lifecycle handled, from visa issuance through payroll compliance and ongoing renewals.
You may not need Full if…
Important Notes
Additional Employees
Each package covers up to 2 employees. Companies with more than 2 employees will be charged an additional per-head fee after the first 2. Companies with 20+ employees receive a fully tailored package based on their specific structure and needs.
GOSI Breakdown
GOSI invoices are broken down by Saudi Nationals and Foreign Nationals because the contribution rates differ materially. Your GRO provides the employer and employee split each cycle so finance can book it correctly the first time.
Government Fees
Management fees cover professional services only. Government and regulatory fees (visa fees, Ministry charges, portal fees) are charged separately at cost with full transparency and prior notification.
Minimum Engagement
Both packages are subject to a minimum 3-month engagement. This ensures sufficient runway for your GRO to establish portal access, manage regulatory timelines, and deliver consistent compliance outcomes.
