FAQs

What is a MISA Investment License?

The MISA license is a mandatory foreign investment authorization issued by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, permitting non-GCC corporate entities to legally own and operate a business within the Kingdom.

Does Saudi Arabia allow 100% foreign ownership?

Yes. MISA explicitly permits 100% foreign equity ownership across the vast majority of service, commercial, and industrial sectors, eliminating the historical need for a local Saudi sponsor.

What is the difference between MISA and SAGIA?

The Saudi General Investment Authority (SAGIA) was officially elevated and rebranded as the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) to align with Vision 2030 initiatives, though the core licensing mandate remains the same.

What are the prerequisite documents for a MISA Service License?

Applicants must provide an attested Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Trade License of the parent company, a notarized Power of Attorney, and an audited financial statement from the last fiscal year.
