o,
I just need some information on the additional expenses involved. Can someone confirm how much it will cost annually for 4 dependents? Are these two different expenses?
1. MOI Iqama Issuance and Renewal Fees 2023 - SAR 650 per person per year?
2. Expat Dependent Fees 2023 - SAR 4,800 per person per year?
If yes, that mean this is an additional expenses of SAR 2600 + 19200 = 21,800 ($5812 USD). Is this correct?
Are there any other expenses besides rent (450USD), and above?
Thanks!

The company pays the renewal fees for dependents and iqama plus renewal for employees.
Exit visas, topping up EAP if your children will be attending school off camp.

Most people will want to have valid exit visas, it gives peace of mind. As mentioned earlier Aramco pay for one per year for repat purposes.

Hi All
Once you’ve secured your Iqama how long does it take to be issued with a multiple entry and exit visa once you’ve set up your absher account?

I think you can apply for it immediately, takes a few hours. I see new hires travelling home after a month or so to collect family and I’ve seen people go to Bahrain after 2 weeks here.
