Is it possible to pay Dependent Fee for selected number of months on Iqama Renewal?

As I am required to extend my Family Iqama but I am planning to send them to home country as soon as Academic Year ends.

Check with your GRO first then pay fees.
In my case, although it was different and i am unable to understand the requirements from jawazat - they asked to pay whole fee first, then we will make iqama for your newly arrived family. Technically it shouldn't be the case.

You have to pay the whole amount for all your dependents till the date of your Iqama expiry.

So if you're renewing in Feb '18, you'll have to pay dependent fee till Feb '19 irrespective of when your family will leave.

Hope this helps!
