Well , it is true , you have to be present in the country for doing things related to "Iqama" like Renewal or Transfer !


Other than that , there is a possibility for such things in rare cases , agents can handle these things for some amount of money I guess :P

If you are a dependent then you need not be present in KSA while your sponsor's visa is moved from one sponsor to another , but if you are an employee then you need to be present.

Need help with immigration or administrative procedures in Saudi Arabia?
