Hi all,

I am considering an offer to move to Riyadh and the company told me they don't pay my dependents' iqama. I would move with my wife and 3 kids (11,7 &5). So, I wonder if I have to pay the iqama (approx 400SAR/month) for my wife or 400 SAR times wife and 3 kids?

Many thanks

Hi,

As per new rules, U need to pay an amount of 400 SR for each dependent (monthly 1600 SR in your Case for Wife and 3 kids) Plus in addition to that Medical Insurance for Family as well (Depends on Offer from Company but Normally Companies are not paying Dependent Fee)

@nuhu_2007 Thank you very very much! I've been looking for that data and was very confusing for me. I appreciate it a lot.

Btw, do you know if is there any additional process fee? Or anywhere I can get all this information from? I checked some websites and they were not updated. Many thanks again.
