Assalamo alaikum wr wb

Dear Team,
I am a consultant and my engagements bring me to Saudi Arabia often. At times I am here for three to six months at a stretch.
Can anyone guide me on how or where to open a bank account. I am on a business visa.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jazakallah-e-khair
Mohammed Aala

You need to have Iqama in order to open an account. People on any kind of visit visas can't have bank accounts.
