Hi, I have just arrived in Saudi on permanent family visa. To issue new Iqama, we have to pay dependent fees.

I read on a blog there is no dependent fees for the first 3 months of arrival? Is that correct?

also, if we pay dependent fee quarterly, the iqama will be issued for 3 months or a year?

my husband’s iqama(work permit) is for a full year. Thanks.

I think there is 3 months grace period. You can pay quarterly and iqama will be renewed for 3 months yes.
