Whaaat?
I dont think so. I have seen many of my collegues whose Iqama has been renewed within a single day time.
I just want to know the time taken in this holy month of Ramadhan.

It depends on the person handling iqama renewal issues or your sponsor. Normally its a procedure of few hours. Last date of work for Jawazat and Labor office during Ramadan is 20th (not confirmed for this year)
