Some of us are getting Iqamas

Def not 50k usd, it's more like 30k sar a year assuming you still get most your paycheck in uae (it has an implication on GOSI fees that are % of salary).

However the issue is ksa firms have Saudization quotas. They cannot simply issue iqamas to all middle east consultants regardless of the cost. This probably is part of the government intention behind the change anyways to drive Saudi employment.

Haven’t heard of a case yet for juniors getting it

So junior staff with no visa yet just can't be staffed on KSA projects right now?

As I’ve applied for other firms, I’ve been denied interviews based on how my boss is perceived in the community. I’ve gathered professional references from opposing attorneys and other attorneys we work with but still can’t land. Help
