To obtain an Iqama in Saudi Arabia, employers must first secure a Saudi work visa, complete mandatory medical tests, and register employees with the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI). The company must also be registered under the Saudization (Nitaqat program) to meet labor market requirements. The employer is responsible for the Iqama processing in Saudi Arabia, including visa fees and renewals. Many companies choose corporate visa processing services in Saudi Arabia to ensure compliance with legal requirements and expedite the process.
