The Hidden Complexity Behind Saudi Arabia’s Digital Bureaucracy, And How We Navigate It

In 2025, applying for a work visa to Saudi Arabia will be smooth and digital. Think again. Behind the polished surfaces of official portals like Absher, Qiwa, and Muqeem lies a chaotic web of permissions, approvals, and backchannel steps no one tells you about, until it’s too late.

Each portal is a gatekeeper. Miss one click, one obscure document, or one unspoken rule, and your application might be ghosted indefinitely. No explanation. No appeal. Just silence.

At Massar, we don’t guess; we know. Years of grinding through this system have armed us with insider-level knowledge. We’ve learned which ministries move faster, which portals trigger hidden approvals, and how to speak the language behind the official language.

This isn’t about hacking the system. It’s about mastering it.

So whether you’re moving jobs to KSA, relocating your family, or launching a business presence in the Kingdom, we clear the landmines before you step in them.

Because in Saudi bureaucracy, what you don’t know can delay you for months.
