I believe if you have an Iqama in Saudi Arabia, you can get a visit visa for maximum 2 weeks on the causeway

Since you have an iqama you will get visa, similarly if the other person who is coming there is of a nationality that can get visa on arrival , yes they can if not a visa has to be secured previously.

Should just have to fill in the form and pay the 5 Dinars or give them 50 Riyals.

Go to Abu Dhabi it's cheaper all round, especially the hotels and Taxis

Hi,
I am also interested to visit but waiting to get IQAMA ...
My doubt is do we need passport for this or just IQAMA can do?
My passport is with my office?

You need passport, iqama and exit reentry permit from your company. Single exit reentry is 200SAR, multiple valid for 6 months is 500SAR.
