Ministry of Culture (MOC) Permit for Events in Saudi Arabia

A Ministry of Culture (MOC) Permit is an official approval required for organizing artistic, heritage, creative, and cultural events in Saudi Arabia. This permit ensures that events promoting culture, creativity, and national identity align with the Kingdom’s cultural policies and Vision 2030 initiatives.

MOC permits are necessary for cultural festivals, art exhibitions, fashion shows, design showcases, literary events, film screenings, music and performing arts, heritage programs, and creative workshops in major cities including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. The approval process evaluates event content, cultural relevance, audience suitability, and compliance with national guidelines.

Whether hosting a standalone cultural event or integrating cultural elements into a larger exhibition or festival, securing an MOC permit is essential for lawful operation and successful cultural engagement across Saudi Arabia.
