The facility of phased renewal of Iqama is not available to domestic workers;
A foreigner inquired with justification, “The occupation in Iqama is that of a domestic driver my wife, and a child is also listed in my Iqama.” Can Iqama be renewed for three months because it is difficult for the wife and child to pay one year’s fee in one lump sum?
In response to the question, Juzaat said that the facility of phased renewal of Iqama is not available to domestic workers. This facility is provided for commercial workers.
It should be noted that at the end of last year, the facility was provided by the Saudi Ministry of Interior to renew the iqamas of commercial workers living in the kingdom, and they can renew their iqamas every quarter.
The facility provided in the renewal of Iqams benefits the expatriates who are residing in the Kingdom along with their families.
According to the laws, a fee is charged every month for the renewal of the iqama of the families of foreigners, which is 400 Rials per person this year.
Before this facility, all expatriates were required to submit a fee on an annual basis for their families’ residences, after which their residences could be renewed.
