Indicative only. Government fees change and depend on your activity; we confirm the exact amount before you pay.

How the calculator works

It adds only the items that apply to your choices. A foreign owner adds MISA investor registration and document attestation; a sole establishment has no articles of association.

Government fees appear as indicative ranges because they vary by activity and location, and some are set by the authority on approval. New commercial registrations are exempt from the Chamber of Commerce subscription for their first 3 years.

The result is a planning estimate, not a quote. We send a written fixed-price quote before we start, and government fees are paid at cost with receipts.

MISA investor registration and document attestation for foreign owners
Work visas and iqamas for the first year

Frequently asked questions

Is the calculator result a final price?

No. It is a planning estimate built on indicative government fee ranges. We confirm every fee before payment and send a written fixed-price quote.

Why is the MISA fee not shown as a number?

MISA sets the investor registration fee when it approves the application, so we confirm it in your quote rather than show a figure that may not apply to you.

Does the cost differ between Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam?

Most government fees are national. Office rent and Balady fees vary with location, activity and area.

Can I set up a company without an office?

A business needs a national address and premises suited to its activity; many office-based activities can use a shared office. Choose "I have one" if you already have premises.

How fast is the result?

Instant. It updates with every change, and you can send it to us on WhatsApp for a written quote.
