Hi. For now I am on a visit visa, so I do not have iqama nor a saudi Bank Account. Besides asking a friend with iqama, is there any other way I can send money to a Bank Account back home? Thanks.

They also ask for your resident permit/IQAMA.

@minog - There's no way you can send it without iqama, All you can get it transferred with the help of your acquaintance who has got an IQAMA !!
