Hi,

I am looking for possible ways to transfer money back into my account in the US without having to pay a lot of fees. I do not have an Iqama. I am wondering if Tahweel would do this? Another other ways you could suggest that don't include leaving the country? Thank you!

I'm new here in Saudi Arabia and don't know much about rules here.
I think u should visit a nearby bank ask how much they will charge if u transfer money to USA. Bank is no doubt safest way for transfer.

I'm fairly new here, too, but I'm pretty certain the bank won't do a transfer without an Iqama. Also, Al Rajhi is a bank and Tahweel is a transfer service they set up. I would think it's pretty safe. I just want to know if I can use it without an Iqama.

Don't u have a friend who has a iqama to help u with transfer?

Tahweel will definitely ask for your iqama. If you have someone you trust who can help you do that, that maybe the only way or wait until your iqama is issued.

Yes but If you had Tahweel Al Rajhi Card!! If not..you can't transferes the mony without Tahweel al Rajhi account (The Card).

icama will be required by every agency

why don't you get a friend to transfer the money for you ?

if you are really stuck, i can transfer it for you.
