No Saudi entity? Tamra can act as your Saudi-side sponsor and issue the Letter of Invitation behind an eligible Business Visit Visa — reviewed for eligibility before anything is filed.
Can Tamra sponsor a Saudi Business Visit Visa?
Yes. Tamra can act as the Saudi-side sponsor and issue a MOFA-authorised Letter of Invitation for eligible Business Visit Visa cases — meetings, negotiations, audits, conferences and executive travel — so companies without their own Saudi entity can still travel lawfully. Sponsorship never extends to paid work or hands-on technical delivery, which require a Temporary Work Visa or a Work Visa with Iqama.
The problem: no Saudi entity, no invitation
You have no Saudi commercial registration, so no entity can file the invitation for you
Your Saudi counterparty is willing to meet but unwilling to sponsor a visa on their CR
You need to attend a tender briefing, audit or conference before incorporation completes
You need repeat travel for several executives across a quarter, not a single one-off trip
