Hi! I have one question regarding Iqama procedure and visa. My hubbie is in Jeddah now and he became yesterday his Iqama. I should join him, as soon as possible, and I have read somewhere that I must wait minimum 3 months, because he has to add to documents 3 moths bank statement from KSA, and it is impossible to open an account without Iqama. Does it that mean, that I must wait minimum 3 months more? I hope not. And what are your experiences, how long does it take approx. till you could join your husbands in KSA. It is soooo complicated:(

Bank account and bank account statement has got nothing to do with him getting your visa. The government offices have stopped working as of yesterday and resume on August 3. All he needs is your passport copies, pictures, marriage certificate and arabic translations and a letter from company. he can apply immediately if he has all of this once work resumes.

If he takes the documents to the passport office himself....it will be quicker...he can sort your visa in a single day.
