HOW TO CHECK NEW FAMILY DEPENDENT FEE OF 100 SR IN SAUDI ARABIA

HOW TO CHECK NEW FAMILY DEPENDENT FEE OF 100 SR IN SAUDI ARABIA

Since the implementation is done recently on 1st of July, most of the people are still not aware how to check if this is true or not, and if this applies to their family or no.

Here i am posting a method on HOW-TO- check if your dependent family visa fee is applied to your head of family.

Some govt employee are saying that this didn't apply to them. This method will clarify it. However, some govt employer ,who used to pay for their iqama before this law, may still continue paying for them but they may take it from their monthly salaries, which will be clear by the end of this month when they will receive their pay slip.

Also from 1st January, this 100 SR fee per person will be increased to 200/dependent. So, if someone's iqama is expiring after 1st January, 2018, he will pay 100/month per person till December,2017 and from January,2018 onwards, it will be 200/month per person.

Another TAX sytem will  be VAT (Value Added Tax), which will also be applied to more than 90 items from January, 2017.

This monthly fee will be paid at the time of renewal of iqama by the end of every year.

What you need for this method:

1. 30 minutes of your precious time
2. IQAMA ID no. of head of family like Father or Brother or Husband
3. Internet Bank account (any bank)
4. Access to internet

Now, here are the steps on HOW-TO- check:

1. Go to your bank online web-account (Most of us do have it).
2. Log in to your account using your personal details
3. Click SADAD
4. Click 'Government Payments'
5. Now it will show you options for services 'SELECT MOI SERVICES'
6. Click on it and choose 'Alien Control'
7. If your bank shows next option 'Transaction type', click on 'Payment', otherwise skip this step
8. Click on the option of service type and choose 'Associate Fees for All Registered Associates on Head of Household Iqama' (this is usually the last option in this option list)
9. Now enter IQAMA ID Number of the head of Household
10. Next option is Fees Duration End Date or simply enter the date of Iqama Expiry in Hijri as mentioned on your Family Head Iqama and enter the Year of Expiry like 1439, means 1 year ahead of Iqama Expiry. For example: 26/10(shawal)/1439
11. Click Next and it will show the amount which has to be paid when IQAMA has to be renewed.

Hopefully it will clear everyone, who has to pay and who doesn't. Kindly post in comment if this method helped you find it out, and also mention (without names, to help others know)

1. if you work in private or government sector
2. if your system showed any particular fee or its showing Zero :)
3. or if its showing zero, and your employer told you that it will be deducted from your salary and they will pay it for you.

Only GOD (ALLAH) knows well what will happen next, but don't panic, RIZQ is from ALLAH and your problems will be solved. Only TRUST IN GOD (THE ALMIGHTY)
