Quick answer

The StrongYes Saudization Hub explains Saudi workforce localization rules for general information only. It is not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm any rule against the official MHRSD decision and take advice from a qualified Saudi legal adviser before acting.

Content on this site is general information about Saudization, Nitaqat and related rules in Saudi Arabia. It does not take account of your circumstances and is not legal, employment or immigration advice. Do not act, or refrain from acting, on it without advice from a qualified adviser licensed in Saudi Arabia.

Accuracy and changes

We verify rates, thresholds and dates against official sources where available, label facts that rest on secondary sources, and show when each page was last fact-checked. Saudi labor rules change often, and official decisions, procedural guides and Qiwa services can be updated without notice. Where this site and an official source differ, the official source applies, and the Arabic text of an MHRSD decision prevails over any translation.

Independence

StrongYes is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, Qiwa, the Human Resources Development Fund or any government body. Official names and services are referred to for identification only.

Calculations and examples

Worked examples show how published rules apply to simple cases. Your own result can differ because of your economic activity, the registered occupations of your employees, salaries, contract documentation and other factors. Use official MHRSD and Qiwa services for your actual position.
