Who Is Eligible?

Short-term assignments are suitable for:

Registered Nurses with a valid licence from their home country

Nurses with a minimum of 1-2 years of recent clinical experience (varies by specialty)

Professionals able to travel for 90-180 days without long-term commitments

Nurses comfortable working in fast-paced tertiary hospitals

Candidates who meet the host hospital's onboarding and medical clearance requirements

These contracts are often ideal for nurses between jobs, those exploring international work for the first time, or those seeking a focused, well-supported experience abroad.

Visa Type

Nurses on short-term assignments typically travel under a temporary work visa, issued specifically for the duration of the contract.

This visa:

Covers the full contract period (90-180 days)

Allows you to work legally in the host hospital

Is arranged and processed with full support from the recruitment team and the employer

Does not require the long-term commitments associated with multi-year employment visas

Typical Rosters & Working Patterns

Short-term nurses work the same schedule as permanently employed nurses in the host hospital. While exact rosters vary by unit, you can generally expect:

Full-time hours across day/night shifts

8-12 hour shifts, depending on the specialty

Fixed rotation patterns issued by the unit manager

Opportunities to develop confidence and experience quickly due to the intensive nature of the work

Because these assignments are short, nurses are usually placed in units that match their recent clinical background.

Contract Extensions

Most 90-day contracts include the option to extend for a further 90 days if:

The hospital has ongoing staffing needs

You are performing well in your unit

You wish to continue your assignment

Extensions are not mandatory -- you may complete only the initial 90 days if that suits your plans.

Flights & Travel Support

Short-term contracts include comprehensive travel arrangements:

Return flights are provided at the start and end of the assignment

Airport transfers are arranged by the employer or recruitment team

Travel support is provided before departure, including documentation guidance and pre-travel checklists

This ensures your journey is straightforward and supported from start to finish.

Accommodation

Nurses on short-term assignments typically receive:

Free furnished housing

Utilities included

Transport to and from the hospital, if applicable

Single accommodation.

Housing is located within hospital compounds or in nearby residential buildings designed for international staff.

Why Choose a 90-180-Day Contract?

Short-term contracts are ideal if you want to:

Gain international experience without a long commitment

Build confidence in a high-standard clinical environment

Explore Saudi Arabia safely and comfortably

Earn competitive, tax-free income

Experience working in a world-class referral hospital

They are also extremely helpful for nurses considering future relocation -- many return later for full-length employment contracts.
