How many people from Saudi Arabia live in Asia?

According to the United Nations, 115,000 people from Saudi Arabia live in Asia.

In total, 229,000 people from Saudi Arabia live abroad, and about 50% of them live in Asia.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Saudi Arabia in Asia

No community for people from Saudi Arabia exists in Asia on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Joining the Saudi Arabia community in Asia

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

The Saudi Arabia diaspora elsewhere in the world

Elsewhere, the Saudi Arabia diaspora also lives in Libya, Canada, and Australia. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
