Assalama alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barkatuhu ,

Can any one tell me about the visa transfer & iqama renwal fee to change the sponsor to another on azad visa. my iqama was expired on Dated:-07-01-2021.

Please let me know the iqama fees after i change my sponsor and what are the other charges for visa transfer like how much kafeel take the money for transfer purpose.

What is the rule applied for iqama renewal under new sponsor. Is it i have to renew iqama for all this years under new sponsor?

I really appreciate all comments regarding this matter.

Thank You ,

Mubashshir Shaikh.

You cannot transfer without renewing the iqama as it is expired. There will also be a fine. Also remember that you are illegal right now due to Iqama expiry. If you are caught by labor or police, it is jail and deportation.

Transfer fees are 2000 for the first, 4000 for the second and 6000 onward for the third transfer. Roughly, Iqama renewal + work permit fees are around 7-10K a year depending on the Saudisation ratio of the company.
