Saudi Arabia remains a popular destination for Pakistani workers due to its strong economy and employment opportunities.

Additionally, expatriates who need to update their passport details must pay SAR 69. With over 10 million foreign workers in Saudi Arabia, these updates aim to streamline residency procedures.

Iqama Transfer Fees

Transfer Fee (SAR)
First Transfer 2,000
Second Transfer 4,000
Third and Subsequent Transfers 6,000

Iqama is also available for the dependents of foreign workers, business investors, diplomats, and employees of international organizations. With these updates, Saudi Arabia continues to refine its residency policies, ensuring better opportunities for expatriates.
