Is possible to get an Iqama while on a visit visa?

Visiting its a temporary valid visa and its impossible to obtain iqama. Resident work permit you will get once your under employer sponsorship.

Most of the employer hire and keep extending till 9 months. IF they wish they will get you back same on visiting visa or under Resident work permit

Hi,

It depends on the visit visa type if your Visa is work vist (ziyara Amal) then your employeer can start the iqama process.

Procedure:

1. You have to pay conversion fee 2000 SR to change work visit visa to Perm. Work visa.
Will be through SADDAD and by your border number on your passport. Select issue new Iqama option and you'll find all the details about payments.

after that it will be same as new Iqama issuing process.

Can you please suggest whether you manage to convert the Work Visit VISA to Iqama ?

Welcome Dear!

I came here almost 9 years ago on visit visa.My profession was training consultant and all my certificates/degrees were already attested from Saudi Embassy of my country--I came on visit visa for a month like you and continued extension up to 5 months-During this time my Company applied to convert my visit visa into working visa and issuance of   Iqama-After 5 months my employer received letter from MOI(Jawazat) for submission of medical test report for the issuance of Iqama- I had submitted medical certificate and got my Iqama with in a week after.This happen rarely ,usually employer give you visa and ask you to go back and get visa stamped from your home country-               
                                                        Goodluck n hope for the best

No.
You can not.

So what do I need to do to get one

You need to get a working/business visa.

Hello,

You can do this by visiting jawazat. The child will be transferred to father’s sponsorship. First pay fee of SAR 2500 on your banking system for ISSUE IQAMA ON BORDER ENTRY NUMBER of your child.

Normally it is NOT possible to convert visit visa to Iqama but for children who’s parents are working in saudi, they do make exceptions.

You can not. Either your sponsor must apply for a work permit which will get you an Iqama OR you can check with service providers. PM me for further questions on this.

Hi everyone,

Could anyone help to answer, how is saudi now with the visa process, i am moving with family while i am on a wait of calling visa to be done. Would it be possible to travel together this time?

Do you think my family travel together for visit visa, while i am having work visa without waiting for Iqama.

Yes u are right.
