How immigration executive pay ranges in Saudi Arabia

A good way to think about salary in Saudi Arabia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all immigration executives in Saudi Arabia earn less than 254,700 SAR a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 172,200 SAR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 319,600 SAR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of immigration executives sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 130,400 SAR. The highest stretch to 397,900 SAR, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Immigration executive pay by experience in Saudi Arabia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an immigration executive in Saudi Arabia, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical immigration executive salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    148,300 SAR
  • 2-5 Years
    +29% from previous
    191,600 SAR
  • 5-10 Years
    +42% from previous
    272,800 SAR
  • 10-15 Years
    +19% from previous
    325,600 SAR
  • 15-20 Years
    +9% from previous
    353,600 SAR
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    383,300 SAR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a immigration executive typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Immigration executive pay by education in Saudi Arabia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving immigration executive pay in Saudi Arabia. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average immigration executive salary in Saudi Arabia broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

  • Bachelor's Degree

Immigration executive gender pay gap in Saudi Arabia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Saudi Arabia is no exception. Male immigration executives in Saudi Arabia earn an average of 279,400 SAR a year, while female immigration executives earn around 239,300 SAR. That works out to a 17% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
