Process
How Deployment Works
Step 01
Issue Demand Letter
Submit a signed demand letter specifying food packaging staff headcount, contract duration, wage structure, and accommodation provision. MHRSD quota application is initiated on Day 1. AK International provides a checklist to prevent the common demand letter errors that delay quota approval.
Step 02
Sourcing & Pre-Screening
Candidates are drawn from established sourcing corridors with verifiable Saudi Arabia or GCC deployment history. Each profile clears a role-specific practical test, English communication assessment, and full document verification before deployment approval.
Step 03
Departure & Arrival in Riyadh
GAMCA medical clearance, police certificate, visa stamp, and pre-departure orientation are coordinated and tracked against your go-live date. Workers depart as a batch and arrive in Riyadh ready for Day 1 induction - not staggered across individual days or weeks.
