Hi Dumie02,

To work in Saudi Arabia, you wife will need to get a job offer on her own merit and the company will need to act as sponsor for her.

I am sure you are aware, Saudi Arabia is a very patriarchal society and while there are expat women working there, often they are hired to do quite high-profiled, skilled jobs. So it really will depend on your wifes experience and expertise.

Take a look at Working in Saudi Arabia for more info.

Hope it helps..
