Hi, can anyone help me with this. I am told if you have an iquama you can easily receive post / courier deliveries in Riyadh but if you are on a visa (i.e. not a resident) goods will not be delivered without proof of an iquama. Is this true? I need to receive my course work for my studies from the UK but am not sure if it will be a wasted effort?

Courier services do not require an Iqama. Passport will do for identification

Yes, it's amazing where these scurrilous stories of needing an Iqama for this or that come from...it really is.

Good luck with your Open University course.
