Saudi Arabia-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Jeddah have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), enforced by SDAIA: Full enforcement began in September 2024 — cross-border transfers and consent need to be documented.
Arabic-first RTL design is expected for consumer brands.
VAT-registered businesses must issue ZATCA-compliant e-invoices (FATOORA); VAT is 15%.
The full list for Saudi Arabia is on the Website Designer & Developer in Saudi Arabia page.
