Hello Assalam O Alaikum
I am a chemical Engineer from Pakistan & I have got the experience of about two years.I am brought up in KSA.
I want to inquire two questions.
1. Can I work as long as i m on Student Iqama here in Saudi Arabia
2. The Company agreed to take my services( In Yanbu) is going to give me 4K basic + 25% house allowance + transportation + medical +one round trip with 1 month leaves, Is this salary okay or I should look for some thing better

Will be very thankful to you if you guide me

Regards
M Asif Malik

Even im not forcing you,many expatriates students hold student iqma still working with good deeds.

I my self worked on student Iqama for a long time. Its ok as long as someone is working in a Shop/Market where the Baladia usually do check.
Except that in professional work such as engineering its not a problem. But when u get over aged then u allready know u have to get transfer of sponsorship away from ur father.
