Only your family you have rights to invite. However a company can bring anyone (certain) from anywhere abroad. They can request to extend their visiting visa.

Tourist visa is a looong way off...

& very rarely will companies send a letter inviting one of your friends over. i have heard of only once and that was for the fiance of an employee. Within weeks of arriving they married in a Western consulate.

THIS ^^

and even if the company does a favor for you, there is a slight chance it could get rejected for invalid reasons...such as friend's son was being coming here on a business visa....like a 2 year old is gonna consult on a million dollar project!

this is saudi arabia.. there r chance for anything. you can get a visa issued or rejected even some times based on the mood of the person sitting on the counter. However trying is the first option. be positive and good luck..
