|
|
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Does anyone know how one gets paid if one still does not have an iqama? Can one just take the paycheck , go to the local bank and get it cashed just with one's passport and the visa?
Your answer will be most appreciated |

If I were in a setup where I had no Iqama I would be a worried man. |

There are advantages to having no iqama. If you leave your job you don't need an NOC or to launder your passport. |
