Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our PRO services and Saudi government compliance.
What is the role of a PRO in Saudi Arabia?
A Public Relations Officer (PRO) acts as a company's official liaison with Saudi government entities, handling document processing, licence renewals, Iqama management, labour compliance and all statutory submissions. 6thMove provides end-to-end PRO outsourcing so your internal team can focus on core business operations while we manage all government-facing requirements and regulatory interactions on your behalf.
What government portals does a PRO need to manage?
A PRO in Saudi Arabia navigates multiple digital platforms including Qiwa (labour contracts, Nitaqat), Absher (Iqama, visa, family services), MISA (foreign investment licensing), GOSI (social insurance), the Ministry of Commerce portal (CR management) and the WPS platform (salary reporting). Our team is proficient across all these systems and stays current with every regulatory update and platform change.
How long does it take to process a Saudi business licence?
Standard commercial registration (CR) issuance typically takes 5–10 business days once all documents are in order, though timelines vary by business activity and jurisdiction. MISA-licensed entities may require additional approvals. 6thMove manages the full end-to-end process, from document preparation to final licence delivery, with proactive status updates throughout.
Can you handle PRO services for multiple company branches?
Yes. We provide scalable PRO support for companies operating across multiple Saudi cities including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar and Jubail. Our team manages branch licence registrations, region-specific municipality approvals and co-ordinates with local authorities on your behalf, ensuring consistent compliance across all locations.
What happens if a company fails Nitaqat compliance?
Non-compliance with Nitaqat band requirements can result in restricted visa services, inability to renew Iqamas, delayed licence renewals and potential Ministry of Labour penalties. 6thMove proactively monitors your Saudisation ratios, recommends corrective actions and assists with the Nitaqat band adjustment process to keep your business in the preferred or high green band.
