About Ahmed

Ahmed Al-Rashid is one of Saudi Arabia's most experienced relocation consultants, with over seven years helping expats — from individual professionals to entire corporate cohorts — navigate the complexities of moving to the Kingdom.

Born and raised in Riyadh, Ahmed brings an insider's understanding of Saudi bureaucracy that most expats spend months trying to acquire. He has personally processed hundreds of Iqama applications, managed Iqama transfers for employees switching employers, and set up Absher accounts for clients across every nationality.

He works with multinational corporations, SMEs, and individual professionals. His clients frequently describe him as "the person who made our Saudi move actually work."

Client Testimonials

Ahmed made our Iqama process completely stress-free. We were a family of four moving from the UK — he handled everything from document verification to Absher registration. We were fully set up within three weeks of arriving. Genuinely couldn't have done it without him.

I was switching employers in Saudi Arabia — a notoriously tricky Iqama transfer process. Ahmed guided me through every step, handled the Arabic paperwork, and even accompanied me to the MOL office. Transfer completed in 10 days. Outstanding service.

Ahmed onboarded our entire team of 12 new hires from six different countries. Every Iqama processed correctly, every Absher account set up, all within budget and ahead of schedule. We now use him as our exclusive relocation partner for all Saudi hires.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you start after I make contact?
I respond to all new enquiries within 24 hours and typically schedule an initial call within 2–3 business days. For urgent situations (e.g. you're arriving in two weeks), I offer priority onboarding — just flag it in your message.
Do you work with all nationalities?
Yes. I have assisted expats from over 40 nationalities including British, American, Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, Filipino, French, German, and South African nationals. Saudi visa and residency rules vary by nationality so it's always best to discuss your specific situation on the initial call.
What do I need to prepare before our first call?
Nothing formal — just know your destination city, your employer name, your arrival date (approximate is fine), and any specific concerns you have. The first call is for me to understand your situation, not for you to have all the answers.
Are your fees fixed or variable?
I quote a fixed fee per engagement after the initial call, once scope is clear. You will never receive a surprise invoice. Ranges listed on my profile are indicative — exact quotes depend on complexity, timeline, and number of dependants involved.
Can you help if I'm already in Saudi but have a problem?
Absolutely. A significant portion of my work is helping expats resolve issues that have already arisen — expired Iqamas, employer disputes, incorrect visa categories, or failed applications. If you're already in-country and facing a problem, reach out immediately.
