Saudi Arabia is expected to create as many as 400,000 new jobs for Pakistani workers, driven by construction and infrastructure projects linked to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 agenda and its preparations to host the FIFA World Cup 2034. Demand is expected to begin ramping up in 2026 and continue through 2034 as projects in infrastructure, tourism, aviation, and hospitality accelerate.
Saudi Arabia was already the top destination for Pakistani overseas workers in 2025, receiving over 530,000 workers — nearly 70% of all overseas employment registrations that year. As Vision 2030 and World Cup-linked construction ramps up, in-demand trades are expected to include masons, steel fixers, electricians, civil foremen, and general construction labour, alongside continued need in healthcare, hospitality, and transportation.
