What is the MISA Portal?

The MISA Portal is the online platform provided by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) for businesses to apply for and manage their investment licenses. Through this portal, foreign businesses can submit applications, track approvals, and obtain licenses needed to operate legally in Saudi Arabia. The portal simplifies the process of managing investment documentation and ensures that businesses remain compliant with Saudi regulations.

Registration Process on the MISA E-service Portal:

  1. Submit Application: When submitting an application for a MISA license through the portal, businesses need to upload the following documents:
    • Trade License for the parent company
    • Financial statement for the parent company
    • Power of Attorney (PoA) if the company is classified as entrepreneurial
    • A support letter outlining the company’s qualifications
    • Articles of Association (AoA) for the parent company
    • General Manager’s passport and educational qualifications (e.g., diploma)
    • Additional company details such as the parent company’s capital, the capital of the Saudi entity, the address of the parent company, and the company’s nationality
  2. Approve the Application: Once the application is submitted, MISA reviews the financial statements and checks that all provided information matches the attachments. This process typically takes 2-3 days.
  3. Fees Payment: After receiving approval, the company will be issued an invoice through the portal. The invoice must be paid through a vendor sheet, which requires the project number and invoice details for submission.
  4. MISA License Issuance: Once the payment is completed, the MISA portal will issue the official license, enabling the company to operate legally in Saudi Arabia.
