Are Filming and Photography Permits Required In Saudi
Arabia?

Photography

Yes. Whether you're filming commercially or capturing photography in public or private spaces, official permits are required by law in Saudi Arabia. Before starting any production, you must either secure the necessary permits yourself or work with a licensed local partner. Failing to do so may result in fines, delays, or disruptions to your project.

Our team ensures all permits are properly handled so you can stay focused on the creative work, not the paperwork.
