This guide explains what GOSI is and walks you through the simple steps to get your certificate.
What is GOSI?
GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) is Saudi Arabia’s social insurance authority. For expat private sector workers, it provides occupational hazards coverage (work injuries and related disability). Your employer registers you with GOSI and pays monthly contributions.
