PROCESS FLOW

MISA Application

Submit an application to the Ministry of Investment in Saudi Arabia to obtain foreign investment approval. This step establishes your eligibility to set up a company in the Kingdom.

Name Reservation

Secure your company’s trade name through the Saudi Business Centre. The name must comply with local regulations and reflect your business activity.

Article Amendment & CR Issuance

Draft and finalize the Articles of Association (AOA), including appointing the General Manager. This is followed by obtaining the Commercial Registration (CR), which legally establishes the company.

GM Labour Portal Opening & Visa Issuance

Register on relevant labour portals and initiate the General Manager’s visa process. This enables legal employment and residency within Saudi Arabia.

Residence ID Issuance

Complete medical tests, obtain health insurance, and issue the General Manager’s Iqama (residence ID), allowing official residency status.

All Portals Registration

Register your company across key government platforms such as Qiwa, Muqeem, GOSI, Chamber of Commerce, and National Address to ensure full operational compliance.

Corporate Bank Account Opening

Open a corporate bank account with an approved banking partner to begin financial operations and transactions within Saudi Arabia.

FAQs

What is the MISA Service License?

The MISA Service License is an official investment registration issued by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, authorizing foreign corporate entities to legally own and operate a service-based business within the Kingdom.

Does Saudi Arabia allow 100% foreign ownership?

Yes. MISA explicitly permits 100% foreign equity ownership across the vast majority of professional, technical, and commercial service sectors.

What is the difference between MISA and SAGIA?

The Saudi General Investment Authority (SAGIA) was officially rebranded as the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) in 2020 to align with modern Vision 2030 initiatives.

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.
