Dear All,

I am new in this website and Saudi Arabia. For getting Iqama I need your guidance about all the fees and services details. My kafeel asked me to pay 800SAR for medical and insurance. Now please guide me what be the next procedure and how much should I have to pay for further processes and how can I verify the amount and apps details. I don't know anything and its seams the kafeel is asking for more money. Need your kind guidance and help. Please also guide me all the steps and links and app for verifying the amount and process. Again thank you for your kind guidance.

Technically you arent supposed to be paying ANYTHING , your kafeel is supposed to have been paying for all this related to your iqama

The process is slightly different based on which profession / occupation you are employed on. But thats something only your kafeel can do not you. He is called the "sponsorer" for that reason , now annually a payment of 8-9k riyals would be required as well.Dont go ahead and pay that as well.
