Iqama or Residence Permit in Saudi Arabia

Get clear support for Saudi Iqama and residence permit services, including work Iqama, investor Iqama, dependent residence permits, renewals, documentation, medical requirements, portal guidance, and compliance support.

Service Overview

An Iqama is the official residence permit that allows eligible expatriates to legally live and work in Saudi Arabia. It is required for professionals, employees, investors, entrepreneurs, dependents, and other eligible residents who need long-term legal residency in the Kingdom.

For individuals and businesses, the Iqama is more than a residency document.

It can support access to government services, banking, healthcare registration, employment records, family sponsorship, exit and re-entry permits, and day-to-day legal identification in Saudi Arabia.

But the Iqama process needs proper planning.

You need to understand the right Iqama category, sponsor requirements, work visa process, medical test, biometric registration, documentation, portal submissions, renewal timelines, and compliance requirements.

At Gatestone Group, we help professionals, investors, business owners, employees, and families manage the Saudi residence permit process with clarity. From document preparation and application guidance to renewal support, dependent sponsorship, and compliance advisory, our team helps make the process easier to manage.
