Saudi Arabia Work Visa and Takamol Trade Test Process for Pakistani Workers (2026)

1. Confirm the job and occupation

Before paying or submitting a passport, obtain the employer name, job title, work location, salary, contract terms, and responsible recruitment channel in writing. The occupation determines whether professional verification, practical testing, certificates, or other evidence is required. Do not treat a recruiter message or a generic trade list as proof of an approved demand.

2. Check the professional-verification or Takamol-related route

Saudi HRSD describes Professional Verification as a program for checking expatriate workers’ qualifications, experience, and occupational fit. Some recruitment materials refer to related skill testing as Takamol or SVP. The applicable occupation, platform, test center, documents, and timing can change, so follow the current instructions on the official HRSD skills and professional-verification page and the route supplied for the case.

3. Complete the official Wafid medical step

Use the official Wafid platform for the appointment, destination, medical-center, and result instructions shown for the applicant. Enter passport and identity details exactly as requested, save the appointment or result reference, and follow the assigned center notice. An unofficial appointment seller cannot replace the official record.

4. Prepare documents without assuming a fixed checklist

• Keep the passport, written employment terms, photographs, certificates, experience letters, and identity records ready in the requested format.
• Use the current instructions from the employer, Saudi authority, visa platform, and Pakistan emigration channel for attestations, biometrics, and fees.
• Keep copies of every submission, receipt, reference number, and communication; never hand over original documents without a written receipt.

5. Check the visa stage through the official channel

Use the Saudi Visa Platform applicant search or the official search route provided for the case. Verify the name, passport number, nationality, visa type, and reference before relying on a result. A passed test or medical does not itself prove visa issuance, travel permission, or border admission.
