Qiwa request automatic accept if Iqama expired

Good day to all of you,


I'm going to transfer my iqama to another employer but it's such a headache. Please provide me the relevant information according to my case.


My new employer created a Qiwa request on 13th June, 2023 and i accepted it next day. Then i spoke to my current employer (manager) he said kafeel will not allow to transfer so wait for the expiration of your iqama. My iqama got expired on 20th June, 2023 and its already been 5 days since my iqama got expired but still the request isn't automatically accepted.


•Contract with current employer isn't available in Qiwa or Gosi.

•Qiwa request created on 13th of June, 2023.

•Iqama got expired on 20th of June, 2023.

•In Contract section it's showing: Approved - pending employee transfer completion.

•In Employee transfer section it's showing Pending for current employer approval.


Please help me to understand this CONFUSED system. After how many days it'll accepted automatically? If it got cancelled without acceptance/rejection of current approval then how many days should i have to wait for next request?

Maybe you are on 90 or 60 days notice period

abdurrehmanpour1

@Iu Khan but it's not showing any notice period in Qiwa.

Iu Khan

Wait 14 days,  please

Cancel the old request. As it was initiated when your iqama was valid. So it will go to current employer for approval . Tell new em0loyer to send request one more time


To transfer without employer permission or approval, transfer request should be initiated when iqama is expired .

    Cancel the old request. and ask to make a new request from your new company now, once you accept it, it will be auto transfer.

abdurrehmanpour1

@AK001 the previous request will cancelled on 27th of June. Then after how many days new request can be initiated?? Please tell me I'm confused with that.


Furthermore, if i cancel it by myself then what's the next procedure? Can the new employer send me another request immediately?

@abdurrehmanpour1 ask your new employer to cancel request and resend again, if your iqama got expired no need approval from your current employer, you have just to accept the request then the new employer should process through absher, if all mentioned done, you're now transferred , to make sure login to your absher and check your sponsor name if Changed from current to new sponsor name thats mean all done, because I'm just transferred 3 days back .

abdurrehmanpour1

@snah Thank you so much for your advice.


You got transferred to new employer after your iqama expiry?

snah

@abdurrehmanpour1 yes, no need current employer approval , just make sure that you find another company to accept you. Its my experienced last 20TH of june i received my offered through QIWA i accepted it then the new employer processing through absher after 1 day i checked my absher i found my sponsorship changed .

@abdurrehmanpour1 No problem brother, you will get a new request from your current employer. No worries this is standard.

Hi guys, please I need a help with this matter. I'm a new employer who want to transfer the iqama of one domestic helper without approval of the old employer, because her iqama was expired 5 years ago.


Can I send a transfer request through QIWA to her and we can transfer without approval of the old kafeel?


If, so, what should I also do to legalize her iqama after 5 years being expired?


Thank you very much in advance
