Illustrative estimate built from typical Riyadh ranges, not a quote. Excludes one-off setup costs (visas, deposits, school admission fees).
Waypoint 04 — Visa & paperwork
Tick items off as you go. Order matters more than people expect — sequence below reflects the typical dependency chain.
Required before iqama issuance — book early, clinics fill up.
Filed by sponsor/employer, typically within 90 days of arrival.
Can run in parallel with the primary iqama once sponsorship is confirmed.
Unlocks most government services online — needs an active iqama.
Issued alongside or shortly after the iqama.
Get these attested in your home country before you travel if possible.
Home-country licence can often be converted without a retest, depending on nationality.
Most banks require the iqama in hand first.
