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

I used to have to take an ee-car-ma holding person to do it for me

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.

Try explaining your iqama-less state to Riyadh's finest when they are doing an ID check !
