Recruit Light Vehicle Drivers from India to Yanbu
Mobilizing a workforce of certified, deployment-ready light vehicle drivers from India to Yanbu is critical for keeping local commercial delivery fleets and corporate transit operations operating at peak efficiency. Rather than relying on local visa-transfer candidate pools who may lack specific experience, Aegis Krew sources pre-screened talent directly from India's key industrial corridors (specifically out of Chandigarh, Delhi, and Vadodara). Every candidate completes a rigorous screening program focused on defensive driving, GPS navigation, and logistics route optimization and passes technical validation checks. Once your company issues the demand letter and secures MHRSD visa blocks, our team manages the entire GAMCA medical screening, visa stamping, and POE emigration registration, delivering a complete, compliant batch of workers directly to your Yanbu site in approximately 22 days.
Compliance
Fully aligned with the MHRSD regulatory framework. Sourcing requires signed demand letters, power of attorney mandates, and official quota allocation from the employer. Rider and driver mobilization includes Muroor traffic compliance checks and operator permit validation. Special economic zone guidelines apply: Yanbu Industrial City falls under Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) oversight — in addition to MHRSD standard labor compliance, employers here require RCJY contractor workforce registration. Aegis Krew coordinates pre-deployment documentation to meet RCJY site access requirements for Yanbu's refinery, petrochemical, and port logistics facilities..
Deployment Timeline
Batch deployment is completed within a predictable 22-day window from the date of visa approval and emigration clearance. Block visa, contract attestation, and onboarding workflows are aligned with Saudi labor compliance.

Process
How Deployment Works
Step 01
Issue Demand Letter & Visas
Submit a signed demand letter specifying light vehicle driver headcount, contract duration, wage structure, and accommodation provision, alongside sponsored block visas. MHRSD quota verification and Govt. of India emigration approval are initiated on Day 1.
Step 02
Sourcing & Pre-Screening
Candidates are mobilized from our primary Chandigarh, Delhi, and Vadodara corridors. Sourcing is verified through technical screening and practical trade tests, including driving track maneuverability tests, road safety assessments, and license verification, to ensure candidates meet GCC operational expectations before final shortlisting.
Step 03
Departure & Arrival in Yanbu
GAMCA medical clearance, police certificate, visa stamp, and pre-departure orientation are coordinated and tracked against your go-live date. Workers depart as a batch and arrive in Yanbu ready for Day 1 induction - not staggered across individual days or weeks.
