GOSI & Saudization
Stay in the Green.
GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) registers your employees and collects social insurance. Saudization (Nitaqat) tracks your Saudi-national headcount ratio against sector quotas. Drop into the Yellow or Red band and the consequences cascade: visa applications frozen, government tenders blocked, expat permits restricted. We register, monitor, and keep you in Platinum or Green.

Common questions.
Depends on your sector and total headcount band. For 10-49 employees in technical activities: typically 25%+ Saudis. For 50+ employees: 30-40%+ depending on sector. Check sector-specific Nitaqat tables — we provide for your activity.
Quarterly rolling average of Saudi vs total headcount, weighted by salary brackets. Higher-paid Saudis count more. The formula is opaque; we monitor your real-time band via Qiwa dashboard and alert before any down-band risk.
Yellow: visa applications restricted, harder government tendering. Red: visa applications frozen entirely, can't hire expats, no government work, transfer of existing visas blocked. Reputation damage is significant.
Some functions can be outsourced to specialized providers — but the Nitaqat math still applies to your own headcount. Outsourcing doesn't dodge the quota; it's a structuring decision based on which functions you keep in-house.
Mowathaqa = Saudi labor contracts standardized through Qiwa. WPS = wage protection (salaries paid through approved channels with audit trail). Both are mandatory. Both are filed via Mudad monthly. Both are in our PRO retainer.
