Document background
The Confirmation Letter For Sponsorship is a fundamental document within Saudi Arabia's legal framework for managing foreign workforce and residency. This document is required when a Saudi entity (corporate or individual) intends to sponsor a foreign national for employment or family residency purposes. It forms part of the visa and residency permit application process and must comply with recent reforms to Saudi Arabia's labor and immigration laws. The letter serves as evidence of the sponsor's commitment to fulfill all legal obligations under the Kingdom's sponsorship system, including financial responsibility, accommodation, and healthcare provisions. It's particularly important given recent changes to Saudi labor laws and sponsorship regulations, which have modified certain aspects of the traditional Kafala system while maintaining core sponsorship requirements.
