What is an Iqama and do I need one?
The Iqama is Saudi Arabia’s residence permit, required for anyone living and working in the Kingdom. AS Corp manages the full Iqama process for employees and their dependants, including medicals, documentation and government processing.
Can AS Corp handle visas for large workforce mobilisations?
Yes. We regularly manage large-scale corporate mobilisation projects into Saudi Arabia — coordinating block visas, document legalisation, medicals and arrival logistics for entire project teams.
Which GCC countries do you cover?
We support visa and immigration processes across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait — through our own regional offices and established local partners.
Do you handle renewals, amendments and cancellations?
Yes. Beyond new applications we manage residence visa renewals, status amendments, sponsor transfers and cancellations — keeping your workforce continuously compliant.
Am I eligible for a UAE Golden Visa?
Eligibility covers investors, entrepreneurs, highly skilled professionals, scientists, outstanding students and exceptional talent. Requirements differ by category — we run a free eligibility assessment before you commit to anything.
What is the difference between Saudi Premium Residency options?
Unlimited (Permanent) Residency involves a one-time fee for lifelong residency, while Renewable (Limited-Term) Residency offers flexible renewable terms. Both remove the traditional sponsorship structure and allow property ownership, business establishment and family sponsorship.
How long does a Golden Visa application take?
With complete documentation, UAE Golden Visa approvals are typically issued within 2–4 weeks depending on category. We manage nominations, medicals, Emirates ID and stamping end-to-end.
Should I set up in a Mainland or Free Zone jurisdiction?
It depends on your activities, target customers, ownership preferences and tax position. Our advisors compare suitable jurisdictions for your business model and recommend the structure that fits your long-term strategy — before you spend anything on licensing.
Can you open corporate bank accounts?
We provide corporate and personal bank account support with leading local and international banks — preparing the compliance file and guiding you through onboarding requirements.
Do you support ongoing compliance after setup?
Yes. From licence renewals and corporate governance to investor and employee visas — AS Corp remains your single accountable partner well beyond incorporation.
What is the difference between attestation and apostille?
An apostille is a simplified certification accepted between Hague Convention countries. For non-members — including the UAE and Saudi Arabia — documents require multi-step attestation through notary, foreign ministry and embassy channels. We manage both routes.
How long does document attestation take?
Typical timelines range from a few days to several weeks depending on the document type, issuing country and destination. We provide a confirmed schedule up front and offer express handling where available.
Can you obtain Police Clearance Certificates on my behalf?
Yes — we coordinate PCC applications across multiple jurisdictions, including fingerprinting guidance, embassy coordination and secure delivery.
