Saudi Arabia Launches Regional Headquarters (RHQ) Enforcement Phase

Companies urged to obtain RHQ licenses before 2026 to maintain government contracting eligibility

The Saudi Regional Headquarters (RHQ) Program has transitioned from planning to active enforcement.

By 2026, foreign companies must establish a licensed regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia to continue participating in government tenders and projects.

This initiative supports Vision 2030’s goal of making Riyadh a leading regional business hub.

Waqour Law Firm offers end-to-end RHQ licensing services, from regulatory advisory and MISA compliance to governance and employment law structuring.
