HI All

I have some questions your advice is appreciated. I have been offered a job in Saudi Arabia but only two of my three children are listed as my dependents as the company does not provide benefits for more than wife and 2 kids.
1. Will getting an iqama for my son who is not listed be a problem?
2. What other problems will this cause?
Any way I could lersuade them to add him?

There will not be any logistic problem. The inly issue is that you have to finance everything related to your third child. Insurance, visa, etc.

While I agree with Ammario, you may have one option to help the situation.  How old are your kids?  If any are younger than school age the question I would ask is if they would be willing to swap the older for for the youngest.  Depending on your salary, it might be workable to cover medical insurance and flights for the youngest.  In doing this they would still cover tuition for two children and by the time the youngest starts school you would be able to save enough for tuition.

This is just a random idea and the old-timers on here will know better and should chime in eventually.

Best of luck,
