ITIN for Pakistani Expats in Saudi Arabia: Earn US Income from KSA
Millions of Pakistani nationals live and work across Saudi Arabia — in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Mecca, and beyond. Many of these expats supplement their KSA income with earnings from US freelancing platforms, Amazon, YouTube, or US-based businesses. If you're a Pakistani expat in Saudi Arabia earning from US sources, you need an ITIN — and the good news is you apply based on your current Saudi Arabia address, not your Pakistani home address.
⚠️ No US-Saudi Arabia Tax Treaty:Saudi Arabia has no comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. US payers apply 30% withholding to Saudi residents without a valid ITIN and Form W-8BEN certifying foreign status.
Why Pakistani Expats in Saudi Arabia Need an ITIN
- Freelancing on Upwork, Fiverr, or for direct US clients while based in KSA
- Amazon FBA, KDP, or Associates income from the US market
- YouTube AdSense earnings from US viewers
- US LLC ownership for ecommerce or digital services businesses
- US stock market investments paying dividends
- Any US-source income exceeding IRS reporting thresholds
🚀 Earning USD from Saudi Arabia:Whether you're a Saudi national or an expat living in the Kingdom, earning in USD from US platforms gives you global purchasing power. An ITIN is the essential step to receiving your full US income without 30% withheld.
Pakistani Passport + Saudi Address: How It Works
When applying for an ITIN as a Pakistani expat in Saudi Arabia:
- Passport: You use your Pakistani passport as the primary identity document
- Address: You use your current Saudi Arabia address (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, etc.) on Form W-7
- Iqama: Your Saudi Iqama (residence permit) can be used as supporting address proof
- Application type: Filed as a Saudi Arabia resident, regardless of nationality
No Pakistani Address Needed: ITIN Plus processes your application based on your current KSA address. You do not need to use a Pakistan address or involve any Pakistan-based service. Your Pakistani passport + Saudi Arabia address is the correct combination for your ITIN application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Pakistani nationals living in Saudi Arabia apply for a US ITIN?
Yes. Pakistani nationals living in Saudi Arabia can apply for a US ITIN through ITIN Plus using their Pakistani passport and Saudi Arabia address. Your ITIN application is based on your current residence in KSA, not your home country. The process is 100% online and costs $99.
What address do Pakistani expats in Saudi Arabia use on the ITIN application?
Pakistani expats in Saudi Arabia use their current Saudi Arabia address on IRS Form W-7. Your Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, or other KSA address is the correct address for your ITIN application. Your Pakistani passport is used as the identity document.
Do Pakistani Upwork freelancers in Saudi Arabia need an ITIN?
Yes. Pakistani Upwork freelancers based in Saudi Arabia who earn from US clients need an ITIN to submit Form W-8BEN to Upwork. Without an ITIN, Upwork withholds 30% of earnings. ITIN Plus processes applications from Pakistani expats in KSA for a flat $99.
Is the ITIN fee the same for Pakistani expats as for Saudi nationals?
Yes. ITIN Plus charges the same flat $99 for Pakistani expats in Saudi Arabia as for Saudi nationals. There are no nationality surcharges. Your passport nationality does not affect the fee.
Can Pakistani expats in Saudi Arabia use their Iqama for the ITIN application?
The Iqama (Saudi residence permit) can serve as supporting address proof but cannot replace the passport as the primary identity document. Your valid Pakistani passport is the required identity document for Form W-7. The Iqama helps confirm your Saudi Arabia address.
How long does ITIN take for Pakistani expats in Saudi Arabia?
The IRS takes 8 to 14 weeks to process ITIN applications from Saudi Arabia (regardless of the applicant's nationality). ITIN Plus as a CAA ensures your Pakistani passport is properly certified and your Form W-7 is complete, minimizing rejection delays.
