A government-licensed OEP mobilising vetted Pakistani workers to the Kingdom since 2008. Wakala to on-site arrival in 45 days, across 2,800+ deployments.
Saudi recruitment has its own rulebook — SVP, Etimad, Wafid, Protectorate clearance. We run all of it in-house.
Every deployment is registered with the Protectorate of Emigrants, insured, and documented through State Bank channels. It is what separates a lawful placement from a file that unravels later.
Every skilled candidate is vetted against Saudi Skill Verification Programme requirements before submission — so trade tests don't fail at the Kingdom end.
GAMCA/Wafid medical scheduling and Etimad biometrics handled by our own team, not subcontracted — which is where most 90-day timelines lose their weeks.
Air Label Travels & Tours issues PNRs internally. Start date shifts get same-day rebooking instead of a third-party agent's queue.
Five specialisations, each with its own vetting route. Select a category for the roles supplied and the mobilisation timeline.
Electricians, HVAC and refrigeration technicians, mechanical technicians and pipe fitters, assessed against Skill Verification Programme standards before submission.
Complete site teams, from civil engineer and foreman through to mason, steel fixer and shuttering carpenter.
Crane, excavator and forklift operators, riggers and heavy vehicle drivers, whose licence and experience documentation is reviewed before submission.
Safety officers, permit-to-work receivers and HSE supervisors, sourced with current third-party certification already held.
Housemaids, household drivers and domestic support personnel, recruited through the MUSANED platform under a separate regulatory route.
Saudi Arabia's Skill Verification Programme is no longer a formality. For listed trades it now decides whether a visa issues at all.
As of 2026, work visas and iqama renewals for listed trades are blocked digitally without a valid SVP certificate. There is no manual workaround at the embassy stage — the file simply does not proceed.
Pakistan was the first country brought into the programme. It began with five trades — plumber, electrician, welder, refrigeration and air-conditioning technician, and automobile electrician — and now covers more than a thousand occupations across 23 sectors. Assessment is two-part: a theory paper on safety and technical knowledge, and a practical test of the work itself.
We assess a candidate against the SVP standard for his trade before he is submitted to you, not after. Testing is done at NAVTTC-authorised centres — we book the slot, send the candidate, and track the result through to certificate issue. The practical effect is that a worker reaching your site has been tested twice: once by us, once by the Kingdom.
This is where most delays now originate for employers using agencies that treat SVP as paperwork. A worker who fails the practical at the Saudi end is a mobilisation that has to start again.
Set out plainly so you can plan resourcing on your side before the file opens.
Sequence matters more than speed here. Files sent out of order come back.
Three documents open a file: the Demand Letter, the Wakala (Power of Attorney), and the Agency Agreement. All three must carry attestation from the Chamber of Commerce first, then the Pakistani Embassy or Consulate in Saudi Arabia. Sending them in the reverse order is the single most common reason a file is returned, and it costs a fortnight.
On the Pakistani side the documents are registered with the Protectorate of Emigrants, which is what makes the deployment lawful and the worker insured. A placement processed outside that channel is not a shortcut — it leaves the worker without protection and the employer without recourse.
We audit every file internally before embassy submission. It is unglamorous work and it is the reason our clearance rate sits where it does.
Every agency quotes a best case. These are the four things that actually move the date.
Consular capacity fluctuates. In peak periods a stamping slot can add a week, and no agency controls that queue.
A GAMCA referral for further testing adds days. We book medicals early rather than late so a referral does not sit at the end of the pipeline.
Test centre slots are finite. Booking at submission rather than after selection is what keeps this off the critical path.
A document attested out of sequence goes back. This is avoidable, and it is why we check your paperwork before you send it.
Domestic staffing and skilled trades are not the same process in Saudi Arabia.
Domestic workers — housemaids, household drivers, domestic support — are recruited through MUSANED, the Ministry of Human Resources platform handling e-visas, e-contracts and e-Tawtheeq attestation. Contracts are signed and attested electronically, which locks in salary, hours and duties for both sides. From January 2026 domestic salaries must also be paid electronically through the platform. We hold active e-contracting partnerships there.
Skilled and technical trades — welders, HVAC technicians, engineers, heavy equipment operators — do not go through MUSANED. That route runs on a block visa with an attested Demand Letter, Wakala and Agency Agreement, followed by Protector of Emigrants clearance in Pakistan.
Mobilisation across the Kingdom, including remote and project-corridor sites.
We mobilise to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the Eastern Province, Makkah and Madinah, Tabuk, Hafar Al Batin, Jubail, Yanbu, Abha, and the NEOM and Red Sea project corridors.
Remote site postings are routine. We brief candidates on accommodation, transport and site conditions before they accept — which is a large part of why they stay.
A five-week pipeline. Timelines vary with embassy appointment availability and medical scheduling.
Candidate identification, CV filtering, skills assessment and employer matching against your Demand Letter.
GAMCA/Wafid medical clearance and technical trade tests for all skilled roles.
Etimad/VFS biometrics, MOFA attestations and Protectorate of Emigrants documentation.
Passport submission and collection, then final Protector of Emigrants clearance.
Travel logistics, PNR issuance via Air Label Travels, and on-site arrival at your facility.
