The Iqama is Saudi Arabia’s official residency permit for foreign nationals, issued by the Ministry of Interior. It allows expatriates to live and work legally in the Kingdom, access essential services like banking and healthcare, and sponsor family members. Required shortly after arrival, the Iqama is crucial for legal residency, employment, and day-to-day life in Saudi Arabia.
