Tunisian manpower is an increasingly popular choice for Saudi businesses, combining professional skill, fluent Arabic and reasonable cost. This guide explains the requirements and steps to recruit from Tunisia to Saudi Arabia in 2026.
1. Documents required from the employer
- A valid commercial registration for the establishment.
- A work visa issued via Qiwa or Musaned (depending on worker type).
- A unified employment contract specifying salary and job title.
- An authorization for the recruitment agency to complete procedures.
2. Musaned and domestic workers
For domestic workers (maid, cook, driver), procedures run through the Musaned platform of the Ministry of Human Resources. Professional staff for businesses go through standard work visas. Achab is compliant with both tracks.
3. Working with a licensed agency
Define the need
Specify trade, headcount and offered salary. The more precise the brief, the more accurate the shortlist.
Candidate nomination
The agency screens its database and runs trade tests, then sends files (CV, certificates, work videos).
Interviews and selection
Live video interviews are held between you and the candidates before deciding.
Visa and documentation
After selection, contract attestation, medical checks, visa and travel booking begin.
Timeline and cost
With an effective licensed agency, the timeline varies by country, visa status and trade, and so does the cost — with one important bonus: no language barrier.
Final tip
Always confirm the agency is officially licensed. Achab holds license 69/2024 from Tunisia's Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment, with fully documented procedures.
