What is Nitaqat?
Nitaqat is a Saudization program. The program requires businesses in the private sector must hire a certain percentage of Saudi citizens out of their total workforce. The Nitaqat program classifies the kingdom’s private sector establishments into different categories based on the number of Saudis employed: Platinum, High Green, Mid-Green, Low Green, and Red. You can check the Iqama red green colour status or nitaqat colour category of your employer or company by visiting the Ministry of Labor (MOL KSA) website.
