How to Issue Iqama for Your Family in Saudi Arabia + fill iqama form.

Bringing your family to live with you in Saudi Arabia is an important step for stability and comfort. To allow your wife and children to stay legally in the Kingdom, you need to issue a Family Residency Permit (Iqama) and fill iqama form for each family member.

The process is straightforward when done correctly. This guide explains the steps clearly, including documents, fees, medical tests, and Absher procedures.

This guide is prepared by JCT Translation Office, a certified and sworn translation office in Jeddah that assists residents in completing and submitting Iqama applications.

Who Can Sponsor Their Family for Iqama

You can sponsor your wife and children if:

• You have a valid Iqama.

• Your job profession allows family sponsorship.

• You meet the minimum salary (3500SR) requirement set by authorities.

If your profession needs updating, that should be done before the Iqama application.

Documents Required to Issue Family Iqama

Prepare the following documents in advance:

Document	Notes
Copy of your Iqama	Clear and readable
Family passport copies	Passports must be valid
Marriage certificate	Must be translated if not Arabic
Birth certificates for children	Translation required if not Arabic
Medical test report	From an approved medical center
Family photos	White background, recent

Translation note: If your certificates are in English or any non-Arabic language, they must be translated by a certified translation office. JCT Translation Office provides official translation accepted by Jawazat.

Step-by-Step Process to Issue Family Iqama

1. Complete the Medical Test

Your family must undergo a medical examination at an approved medical center. Results are sent electronically to the Ministry of Interior.

2. Purchase Health Insurance

Open your bank app and purchase basic health insurance for your family. Insurance must be active before the Iqama is issued.

3. Pay Government Fees

Using SADAD through your bank:

• Iqama issuance fee (usually yearly)

• Dependent fee (per family member)

• Any residency service fees if applying through Jawazat

  
  

4. Log in to Absher

Go to:

• Services

• General Services

• Passports

• Issue Iqama

Fill details exactly as written in the passport to avoid rejection.

5. Submit the Application

In many regions the Iqama will be issued online. In some cases you may visit Jawazat to finalize fingerprints or submit any missing documents.

How Long Does the Process Take

If documents are ready and medical results are updated, the process may take 1 to 5 working days.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Spelling names differently than the passport

• Providing old or unclear translations

• Starting the application before medical results are uploaded

• Forgetting to renew or purchase insurance

Accurate documents save time and prevent rejection.
