What kind of visa do you need to have for consulting in Saudi?

This company can offer you a visit visa, and many European and American are working on a visit visa, by this they dont come under employment rules, so for you it will be best to come on visit visa and you can renew it time to time.

It is called as a Business visa, or at least was, the last time I saw it on someone's passport.
