The legal route
How recruitment for Saudi Arabia actually works.
The employer issues a demand letter, power of attorney and job order, attested by the Indian Mission in Saudi Arabia. Once we register the demand on e-Migrate, we source and test candidates, the Saudi employer issues a visa authority number, we file at the embassy, and emigration clearance is granted before travel.
Nothing about that sequence is optional and nothing about it is quick. Any agent who promises you a Saudi Arabia job without an employer’s attested demand letter behind it is either guessing or lying — and it is worth asking them to show you the licence number before you pay anyone anything.
