In addition to that, you can also use atm machines if you haven’t activated e-banking yet. Here, I am using NCB bank (ahli) portal to pay the fees.

The Fee Is More Than 650 Riyals, Let’s Check It
I am going to show you an iqama renewal fee which is way more than 650 riyals. When You click on Request Payment Fee, it can show a payment of 1150 or 1650 Riyals. If that happens, click on Show Fee Details to know the exact reason.
I have an example of a 1650 Riyals fee and let’s see why is this so much.
For sure, you know the exact reason now. The fee for the issuance is 650 riyals including human resource fee. But it is a late iqama renewal fine. Due to that the fee jumped too high. You can know more about the different penalties in this article.

The fine increases every time there is a delay in the renewal process.

Second Violation: Now the penalty increases to 1000 riyals. ( As shown in the above example)
Third Time Late: It’s the hardest one. Jawazat says that the final exit is the punishment for a third consecutive delay in the iqama renewal process.
