{{Short description|none}}

The International Religious Freedom Report 2007, of U.S. Department of State, estimated that more than 8 million foreigners are living and working in Saudi Arabia, including Muslims and non-Muslims.{{cite web |url= https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2007/90220.htm |title= The US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2007 - Saudi Arabia |last= |first= |date= September 14, 2007|website=2001-2009.state.gov |publisher= Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor|access-date=November 7, 2023 |quote=}}

There are 400,000 Sri Lankans, as well as a few thousand Buddhist workers from East Asia, the majority of which are: Chinese, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese. There is also a possibility that a percentage of Nepalese immigrants also help make up the estimated 8 million foreign residents in Saudi Arabia.

This amount of foreign inhabitants makes about 1.5% of Saudi Arabia's population Buddhists, or around 400,000 nominal Buddhists, most likely giving Saudi Arabia the largest Buddhist community in the Middle East or Arab World.
