Good day!

My wife is currently under my sponsorship. She applied for a job. The company will send a request to transfer her sponsorship from ME to Company sponsor.

Can anyone advice to which platform or government site I will receive the request and make approval to transfer?

Thank you.

Hi Johnerlman,

I invite you to go through the existing topics in the Saudi Arabia forum.
You may find the answers to your questions.

Call her employer and set a time when he will do the transfer he will guide you. As you are husband and expat then it will be on muqeem only i think.

I think you'll you must register to Qiwa for any request related for iqama transfer or sponsorship you will accept from here https://qiwa.sa/en/node/1

Thank you guys.
I just learned below from my experience:

1. QIWA is used when transferring from 1 company to another. This only applies when the person already "working" and plan to transfer to another company.

2. If the person iqama is resident visa (not working) under sponsor of husband, father, etc and planning to work and transfer to another company/sponsor. NEW company will send a request for sponsor transfer of the dependent in the Ministry of Labor.

Current sponsor (husband, father) will need to register in the Ministry of Labor. Once registered, he will already see there the request for approval for her dependent.

The ministry of Labor link for registering and approving the transfer request is below:

Hi. Please could you update how long it took to transfer your wife sponsorship and what documents from her side were required?

Was there any problems or hidden cost involved?
