Temporary Iqama (if such a thing exists)

Post new topic

It is possible to get a temporary Iqama before my actual one arrives in Saudi Arabia?

I am a US citizen and I am going to live and work in Saudi Arabia for two years, but need to leave after one month of arrival for a personal trip. I am worried I may not have my Iqama by then. Is it possible to leave before I have this? If so, what do I need to do?

You can have a business visa with multiple re-entry

Hello,

As suggested by prdurrant, you should apply for a Business visa with a multiple entries.

Also,
If you re married, ask your company to include your wife with you, so you both can get the multiple visa, and you do not depend on the IQAMA anymore to bring her with you.

Otherwise, you ll never bring her into the kingdom only after you get your iQAMA later on.

Once you get yours, your wife should leave the kingdom to re-enter with the invitation you/your company will provide her.

I came here firs time on April 2013, and I did the same thing while my company is applying for my VISA.

By the way, welcome on board :)

Good luck
