If one has entered Saudi Arabia on a family visit visa, can this be changed to an iqama once in Saudi?

No.  Only in one case i.e. child is on family visit visa and both parents already have Iqamas.  Search the forum, I have replied to this many times and even pasted links to official Jawazat announcements regarding this topic.  But people keep asking this again and again.
