Payment made for Iqama Renewal, but not able to renew

Post new topic

Khawar Ahmed

My Iqama is not being renewed. However, My HR department renewed more than 150 Iqamas but only my iqama is not renewed. All the payments, Jawazat, Maktabamal, Insurance, Saudi Counsil Certificate, all are updated. Still I am unable to get my Iqama renewed.


I am worried, I have to go to Pakistan.


Any Urgent Reply Please?

Why you are worried? This is responsiblity of your employer to renew it not yours if it has not renewed dont worry just relax n follow-up ur HR.

If your Iqama is expired you cannot exit out of KSA only problem you will face is you cannot transfer money from your bank but u can widthdraw and can use your ATM.

You cannot renew your car registration, driving license, car insurance etc.


You company has to pay panelty of late iqama renewal n will renew it after 3 months you are eligible to transfer your job to new employer without the permission of your existing employer.


If you hv any query feel free to contact me.

@Bhavna HR paid the complete fee of three months Iqama renewal. Whenever they try to renew it, they get the message " pay for 12 months & duration should match"


This is the only message appears every time.


Then they tried for six months, nine month and as well as twelve months.

Same message comes up.



Really tired.

I am worried If I ever have to go on a emergency leave..... I CAN NOT.......

@amirshk Thanks for your detailed feedback.


I don't want a transfer yet. I just need to get my I qama renewed so that I can go to my annual vacation.


Iqama is not getting renewed. Ministry of labor said, its a technical issue in the system. BUT, up to what time will they fix the issue? Its already been over 20 days.

Hi,


My uncle is facing the same issue and it’s been 3 months now. The company is telling that it’s a technical issue but it hasn’t been resolved for over 3 months. Any help would be appreciated. He is a storekeeper and his manager is so annoying that he’s refusing to email the related team in their company. He doesn’t have a own email and without his salary his family back here in India is suffering. He has two daughters and is worried on what to do. Please any little help would be much appreciated

I think in case if you transfer your iqama to new employer. So you dont need to worry about iqama .new employer will take care of that..i was facing a issue where my new employer was saying that that cant able to renew my iqama.there was a issue they said .like error.

So even after all things done from previous employer. They need to cancel one of the thing..i actually  no idea what was that..but there was something that old employers need to cancel ..thats the reason my new employer not able to renew it even after my iqama transfer..so dont worry just talk to your old employer.or either u can share ur old employer phone number so new employer can talk to them..my iqama was renewed after almost 2 week..they also pay the late fee ..of 500ryl.
