WhatsApp quoteThe tax position in Saudi Arabia is clear: 20% corporate tax on the foreign-owned share of profits, 2.5% Zakat on Saudi-owned share, and 15% VAT. GoldenKey helps UAE residents and international business owners register a Limited Liability Company under a MISA foreign investment licence in Saudi Arabia through the Ministry of Investment (MISA) and Ministry of Commerce. GoldenKey has Romanian clients from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara, and our consultants understand the papers granted in Romania and how to attest them for the UAE. Romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Saudi Arabia authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Saudi Arabia
Requirements for a Saudi Arabia company are MISA investment licence, attested parent-company documents (as a rule a UAE or home-country entity with one year of financials) and commercial registration and Chamber membership. Reasons business owners choose Saudi Arabia include the largest economy in the arab world, vision 2030 projects worth trillions, regional headquarters programme and a uae entity makes the saudi submission easier. In short, romanian applicants benefit from the fact that Saudi Arabia already has many Romanian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Romania documents and name formats instantly.

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so a Saudi Arabia company for Romanians no longer requires a local partner.

Frequently asked questions
How does Saudi Arabia compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey generally recommends the UAE as the operating base and Saudi Arabia where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
Do I need to travel to Saudi Arabia to incorporate?
In most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Saudi Arabia require a video or in-person meeting.
Can my UAE company own the Saudi Arabia company?
Yes, it can. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
Do Romanians need a UAE visa before applying for Saudi Arabia?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Romania with scanned paperwork, and the investor UAE residence visa is processed afterwards.
Can a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in Saudi Arabia?
Absolutely. Romanians can own the full share capital of a Saudi Arabia company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
