Here are Few Ways you can Use to Avoid or Escape Expatriate Dependent Fees in Saudi Arabia:

  • Renewing Dependent Visa just Before the Fee is getting imposed (July 2017). Fee is applied with the renewal of Iqama.
  • Renewal can be done before 90 days of Iqama Expiry, so if your Iqama renewal is between July 2017 – Sept 2017, then try renewing your Iqama in June 2017.
  • Eid Holidays starts from June 15 2017, so renewal has to be done before that date to avoid or escape dependent Fees.

These ware the ways to avoid paying Dependent Fees for 2017. However, you will have to pay the Iqama Fees for Dependent in the year 2018 while renewing Iqama.
