You can see your company or Kafeel status in the form of four colors Red, Yellow, Green, Platinum.

Now we will discuss the meaning of these colors so you can take necessary actions as per law.

RedIt means your company or sponsor has less number of Saudi citizens as an employee in the company.
So it is best practice to change the company as soon as possible. Because the company or sponsor can come in the blacklist of Govt at any time.

YellowIt means your sponsor or company has fewer Saudi employees, but the margin is close so nearly Employees can be complete.
You can consider a bit safe in this kind of company. Because they are struggling to fulfill govt requirements.

GreenIf the color is green, then you are in the safe mode. Your company has fulfilled Govt requirements so enjoy.

PlatinumIt is more safe category because It has fulfilled all the recommendation of the Saudi Govt. Usually big companies have this status.

Iqama Huroob Removal procedure

The best way to remove Huroob status is by dealing with the Sponsor. But if you cannot agree with him, then it is best to arrange another Visa and get an exit.

Best optionThere are few options available like getting exit re-entry visa, check details of this visa here.

In other conditions, Kafeel can create a lousy situation for you. Many sponsors blackmail Expadiaters for money and ask a lot of money to remove Huroob. Getting exit is the best option till now in Huroob situation.

Many fake agents in KSA gives so-called excellent offers to remove Huroob. But as much I have seen it is a fraud.

Rules of KSA Govt are evident in this situation, and everything goes in favor of Sponsor. So any agents or consultant cannot help you except Sponsor.

Iqama Renewal Procedure

Are you facing iqama renewal issues? Want to know renewal fees and many other problems? We are going to discuss all this in this section, so don’t worry and read carefully.

Iqama Renewal system has also shifted in Absher app now. Ministry of interior and ministry of labor websites are not providing any service related to iqama renewal.

So make an account in Absher app according to the above-given method. Take all of the necessary medical tests and clear them. After Passing all medical examinations, prepare your documents, and apply through the Absher app.

I will suggest you apply a few days before your iqama expiry because this procedure can take a bit time in few cases.

Keep in mind; you receive three days grace period in case of iqama expiry. If you miss the grace period, then you need to pay Penalty Fines.

Note: It is best practice to consult with Sponsor or any consultant in your company. Renewal procedure can be complicated if you don’t have any experience.

The renewal fees are the same as given in the above table.
