About this site

CheckIqama.com is an independent informational website created to help the millions of expatriates living and working in Saudi Arabia navigate residency, visas and government services. Official processes can be confusing, especially in English, so our goal is to explain them in plain, clear language and point you to the right official portal for the actual transaction.

Our guides are written and maintained by our editorial team. Our role is not to give personal advice but to research the official sources, explain them clearly, and keep each guide current with a visible review date. We explain how we do this on our how we verify page.

We cover checking your Iqama and its expiry, renewal fees, exit and re-entry and final exit visas, family visit visas, the main government apps such as Absher and Nafath, and tourist and Umrah visas. Wherever a guide states a fee, deadline or rule, we link directly to the official government source so you can confirm it and complete the process safely.

We are not affiliated with the Government of Saudi Arabia or any official body, and we are not lawyers or immigration advisors. We do not collect, process or store anyone's Iqama or personal data. For any official transaction, always use the government portals listed in our guides.
