Hi,

our Iqamas have been issued which are valid for 14 months (I thought it was only for 1 year) and this may pose a problem with the family taking leave during the summer vacation.

Has anyone had experience in renewing their Iqama around 4 or 5 months before expiry? Realise that the expiry dates remain the same regardless of renewal date.

Many thanks.

I assume u can enter saudi as much as you can using iqama ?

You need a valid exit/re-entry visa.
