Understanding the color status of the Iqama

The Iqama colour status refers to the colour of the Nitaqat category which is assigned to your Iqama, a legal document issued to foreign workers in Saudi Arabia.

The color of your Iqama can be red, green, or platinum.

Red Iqama status means that the Iqama holder's business does not comply with government policies and the holder may encounter difficulties renewing their visa and changing businesses.

Green Iqama status means that the Iqama holder's business complies with government policies, but the level of compliance may vary.

The status of the yellow Iqama means that the Iqama holder's business does not comply with government policies and that the holder may have the right to change businesses.

Platinum Iqama status means that the Iqama holder's business is fully compliant with government policies and that holders enjoy special privileges.

How to check the color of the Iqama

Using the Ministry of Labour website, checking the colour status of the Iqama on the Ministry of Labour (MOL) website is a simple process that can be completed in just three simple steps.

Visit the Wazarat Al Amal website. Go to the MOL KSA website: https://mol.gov.sa/Services/Inquiry/NonSaudiEmpInquiry.aspx.

If you are not comfortable with the default language (Arabic), you can change it to English or any other language of your choice by following this guide.

Enter your identification number. To verify your Iqama status, you will need to enter one of the following identification numbers: – Iqama number – Border number – Passport number

Make sure the identification number you entered is correct, then enter the image code and click the search button. Understanding the results: It is important to note that the color status of your Iqama can affect your ability to work and live in Saudi Arabia.

The color of your Iqama should always be green or platinum, and not yellow or red.
