Most delays in MISA applications come from missing or incorrectly prepared documents. Use this checklist before you apply.

Core documents

  • Parent company commercial registration
  • Latest audited financial statements
  • Board resolution to invest in Saudi Arabia
  • Passport copies of shareholders and general manager
  • Power of attorney (if applicable)

Attestation and translation

Foreign documents usually need to be attested in the home country and translated into Arabic by a certified translator.

Start attestation early — it is often the longest step.
