Your team in Riyadh.
Ready before the world arrives.
Saudi Arabia is building the world's most ambitious event.
The window to position your company is now.
Every type of company working on Expo 2030 has a different challenge. We have the answer for each.
International Contractors and Construction Firms
You have won, or are bidding for, infrastructure, construction, or facilities contracts at Expo 2030. To execute, you need a legal entity in KSA, a large multi-national workforce, and airtight compliance. Fast.
- No existing legal entity in Saudi Arabia to sign contracts under
- Need to deploy hundreds of workers across multiple nationalities
- Saudization requirements must be met under Nitaqat rules
- GOSI, WPS, and Iqama management across a large team
- No time to build an in-house HR and PRO function
How MENA BIG delivers

MISA license, Commercial Registration, Chamber of Commerce, ZATCA, full entity activation managed end-to-end.

Advisory

Country Pavilion Operators and International Delegations
Your government or agency is responsible for a country pavilion at Expo 2030. You need a rapid, compliant setup, a small team on the ground in Riyadh, legally employed and ready to represent your nation.
- No KSA entity, you cannot legally employ staff in the Kingdom
- Need visas and Iqamas processed quickly for diplomats and staff
- Payroll must comply with WPS, no exceptions
- Temporary deployment, you don't want permanent overhead
- Need a local partner who understands government portal systems

Payroll

Hospitality, Retail and F&B Brands
Expo 2030 represents a landmark opportunity to enter the Saudi market. You need to establish your brand on the ground, recruit service staff at scale, and open on time, with full compliance.
- Tight timelines, hospitality staff must be trained and on-site before opening
- High volume of front-line service roles to fill rapidly
- Saudization ratios apply to hospitality, sector-specific planning needed
- No experience with KSA labor law or the Nitaqat system
- Finance and VAT compliance under ZATCA from day one

Technology, Media and Professional Services Firms
You are providing AV, IT infrastructure, consulting, or media services to Expo 2030. You need a small, specialized team in Riyadh, senior professionals who can work fast without a bureaucratic setup holding them back.
- Need to send senior expat professionals to KSA rapidly
- Don't want to set up a full legal entity for a time-limited project
- Expat visa profession mapping, getting it wrong causes rejection
- MOFA approvals and documentation management complexity
- Want predictable, transparent employment costs with no surprises

We have done this before, for one of Saudi Arabia's most complex infrastructure projects.
A leading international metro operator needed to deploy and sustain a fully compliant, multi-national operational workforce in KSA under an active concession, with zero disruption to live services.
MENA BIG structured a full EOR model: workforce planning, Saudization compliance, multi-nationality visa management, Iqama issuance, GOSI registration, WPS-compliant payroll, and ongoing employee administration, all under a single governance framework.
The client retained full operational control. MENA BIG transferred all employment liability, regulatory risk, and compliance overhead, with no impact on service continuity.
