Up to retirement age.  I believe it is 60.  After this, companies generally try to avoid getting iqamas renewed.

But some men are now working in KSA over the age 60 years.

Read what I wrote.  Iqama is possible to be renewed if sponsor wants but costs more and overage expats are counted negatively in Saudisation ratios. Which is why most companies don't renew beyond 60 age. And official retirement age is 60.

Contracts Management is a very highly rated Profession throughout the world, with so many Projects requiring completion within KSA on or before 2030, it would be the ideal timing for International Companies apply training for Saudi women and men within the Contracts Position.


I would for a reputable International Project management company, our remit on every assignment is to transfer our knowledge to our local co workers. However, due to the KSA retirement age limit, I am unable to continue working within the Kingdom, to preform such needed duties.


Does anyone know of a legally compliant way that I can remain performing these task, as we are already noticeably experiencing the results and other Saudi National showing an expression of interest.
