Why You Need The MOI Forms?
In the kingdom, almost every govt institution is digitalized. And most of the operations take place electronically. However, sometimes, the system doesn’t perform the required service online. So, visiting the offices ( Jawazat, Istiqdam, Traffic Police, Visa Department) is a must. That’s why these forms are necessary to be filled and submitted manually.
These forms are available and you can purchase from the people sitting outside the offices. But, they charge you for the required form. So, when you can get them free of cost then why pay for a free service.

You can change kafeel or the company 3 times by paying a transfer fee that doubles each time.
You can add dependants under your iqama by using this category which is in the 4th column. It can be a family member, a maid, or anyone who is under your direct sponsorship.
