Let’s say your iqama has not been issued yet, then what other options do you have?
Actually, you can check iqama status by knowing whether the work permit and iqama fees are paid or still pending. In case the organization has paid the fees then it means that the iqama number is about to issue within a few days.
- Go to the Mol online web portal.
