I believe if you do it yourself it’s 2,000 riyals, but it is a lot of paperwork. Up to 10k if you employ an agency to do it. She would need to be processed from her own country.
But, not everyone on camp has permission to have a helper live in. You need to both be working or spouse studying or 3 children minimum or a special needs/disability requirement to get permission. Also bear in mind that there are no extra rooms for staff and the houses/apartments are not huge

Setting your expectations. You just won’t get permission if you are an expat for them to live on camp. I’ve gone through this whole process. Doesn’t mean you can’t find a way… but it won’t be straight forward. Many utilise agencies here that have wasta and are able to skirt some of those requirements. If you sponsor on your iqama, Aramco will know this fact and you’ll need to figure out where they will “officially” live. Loads of people get permission, if you satisfy the requirements then you satisfy the requirements. |

Thank you, we have indeed 3 kids, spouse will leave her current position.
So it is possible from paperwork process? but then the home space is a problem ? and she will not be allowed to be in leave in?

You’ll get a 3 bed plus study home, so 2 kids share and she has her own. |
