Disclaimer

Last updated: 14 June 2026

IqamaDesk is an independent, informational website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Absher, Muqeem, Qiwa, Sadad, or the Saudi Ministry of Interior, or any other government body. Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on any content.

Not an official source

This website is run independently to help expats understand common residency processes in Saudi Arabia. We do not represent, and are not authorised to act on behalf of, any government authority. For any official transaction — checking or renewing your Iqama, issuing visas, paying fees or fines — you must use the relevant official platforms only, such as the official Absher website and app.

General information, not professional advice

The content on IqamaDesk is provided for general informational purposes. It is not legal, immigration, financial, or professional advice, and should not be treated as a substitute for guidance from a qualified professional or the relevant authorities. Every situation is different, and rules can vary by case.

Accuracy and changes

Government procedures, fees, and requirements in Saudi Arabia can and do change, sometimes at short notice. While we work to keep our guides accurate and mark them with a “last updated” date, we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free at the time you read it. Figures and steps described here are approximate guidance only; always confirm the latest details through official sources before acting.

Protect yourself from scams: IqamaDesk will never ask for your password, OTP (one-time code), or payment/card details, and neither will any legitimate government service. Only ever log in and pay on official platforms. If anyone contacts you claiming to be from a government body and asks for these details, treat it as a scam.

Use at your own risk

Any action you take based on the information on this website is strictly at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, IqamaDesk and its team accept no liability for any loss or damage — including, without limitation, missed deadlines, fines, or other consequences — arising from the use of, or reliance on, this website or its content.

External links

Our guides may link to official and third-party websites for your convenience. We have no control over the content or availability of those external sites and accept no responsibility for them. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement.

Trademarks

Names such as Absher, Muqeem, Qiwa, Sadad, and any related marks are the property of their respective owners. They are used on this site for descriptive and reference purposes only, and their use does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

Advertising

This site may display third-party advertising (including via Google AdSense) to help cover its running costs. Ads are served by third parties and the appearance of an ad does not constitute an endorsement by IqamaDesk. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising and cookies work.

Contact

If you spot something that needs correcting, please tell us via our contact page — we genuinely appreciate it and update our guides accordingly.

Summary: IqamaDesk is independent and unofficial. Always rely on official Saudi government platforms for real transactions, confirm current rules before acting, and never share your passwords or payment codes with anyone.
