You have to look for a job first. Go online and you'll find a bunch recruitment agencies which offer jobs. Apply for a suitable one and if you get lucky you will get contacted. http://www.oilcareers.com/regions/732/SAUDIARABIA_eng_mechanical_engineering.asp http://www.learn4good.com/jobs/language/english/list/engineering/saudi_arabia/ http://www.gulfjobsites.com/ http://www.naukrigulf.com/ni/nijobsearch/loc-jobs-saudi/ The rules are as follows: All foreign nationals, except GCC nationals, taking up employment or residence in Saudi Arabia must have a sponsor. The process consist of the following steps: 1. Employment Permit: Obtained by the Saudi Arabian company. 2. Residence Permit: Submitted along with the Employment Permit. 3. Visa Processing: Submitted at the Saudi Consulate with jurisdiction over the foreign national's current legal place of residence. Requirements: 1. An application for an Employment Permit must be made by the local sponsor--a company existing under the laws of Saudi Arabia. Foreign entities may not sponsor Employment Permits. 2. The application is submitted to the Ministry of Labor which verifies that the foreign national is required for the work. 3. Upon approval, the Ministry of Labor forwards the application to the Ministry of Interior who is responsible for approving the residence permit (Iqamas). 4. Generally, women are not eligible for work permits. Exceptions may be made for nurses and teachers. In addition, individuals of certain religious faiths are not eligible for work permits. 5. All Employment Permit beneficiaries must be at least twenty-two years old. 6. The documents required to obtain an Employment Permit vary depending on the type of organization and the position being filled. The Employment Permits are issued for a maximum period of two years and may be extended. 7. Family members who will be accompanying the employee to Saudi Arabia must be included in the Residence Permit process. 8. Once the employee's Employment Permit is approved, application for a visa must be made to the Saudi Consulate with jurisdiction over the employee's legal current place of residence. Most commonly Requested documents (for Visa Processing): Please note that the Saudi Consulate reserves the right to request additional information and/or documentation. Also, most documents must be authenticated and legalized by the proper authority. 1. Completed application form (white); 2. Certified and notarized copy of the educational degrees with official transcripts; 3. Copy of signed contract; 4. Original letter of Invitation certified by the Saudi Chamber of Commerce; 5. Police Certificates; 6. Medical Report; 7. Three (3) passport-size photographs; and, 8. Application fee. Work visas are initially issued to foreign workers for one to three months after which a formal work permit is required. Residence Permits are only issued after a work visa has been granted and it is the responsibility of the employer to organize these permits for employees and dependent relatives. Take care
