Qiwa is the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development&#039;s (MHRSD) platform where your contracts, work permit, and employment status are stored. Good news: in 2026, registration was simplified and is now done through <strong>Nafath<\/strong>. Here&#039;s how to proceed, what you can do, and most importantly... <strong>solutions to the most frequent blockages<\/strong> reported by users. The Ministry of Human Resources has launched the Qiwa platform for expatriates working in Saudi Arabia. Every expatriate working in Saudi Arabia must register an account on the Qiwa platform to benefit from 85 different services.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-inscription-sur-la-plateforme-qiwa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaway (30 seconds)<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 2026, Qiwa passwords are no longer created: users log in via <strong>Nafath<\/strong> (national digital identity) or Absher.<\/li>\n<li>For most expatriates, the <strong>The individual account is already pre-activated.<\/strong> (related to your iqama). &quot;Registering&quot; mainly means <strong>log in<\/strong> the first time and to complete his profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong> : a valid iqama, an account <strong>Active Absher<\/strong> and the application <strong>Nafath<\/strong> installed and linked to your iqama.<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>only the official portal <a href=\"https:\/\/qiwa.sa\">qiwa.sa<\/a><\/strong>.

This is where you can consult and <strong>accept your contract<\/strong> (Only a contract documented on Qiwa is legally recognized), follow the <strong>validity of your work permit<\/strong>, manage a <strong>employer transfer<\/strong> and access dozens of ministry services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is all the more crucial since 2026: a work permit left expired for more than 3 months can lead to your <strong>radiation<\/strong> from the company register (see our dedicated article).

Here&#039;s how to resolve them:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Stuck on the login page after validating in Nafath.<\/strong> Probable cause: browser cache or session, or outdated Nafath application. Solution: clear the cache and cookies, try a <strong>other browser<\/strong> or private browsing, <strong>update Nafath<\/strong>, Then try again. Testing from a computer often helps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Account or login blocked after several attempts.<\/strong> Cause: Previous password login attempts. Solution: With Nafath, you no longer need a password. If your account is blocked, contact them. <strong>Qiwa support<\/strong> (see below); several users report unlocking within a few hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Qiwa cannot be accessed from abroad.<\/strong> Users are reporting access blocks outside the UK. The most reliable solution is to follow the procedure. <strong>from Saudi Arabia<\/strong> ; in case of an emergency abroad, contact support for options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Nafath does not recognize your face.<\/strong> Common cause: old iqama photo (taken years ago). Solution: use the\u2019<strong>code validation option<\/strong> In Nafath, rather than facial recognition, update your photo via Absher, or visit a service point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Your contract or service does not appear.<\/strong> Most frequent cause:\u2019<strong>employer has not finalized<\/strong> The process, or your data, is not correctly linked in the system. Solution: It&#039;s not necessarily your fault. Ask your employer to check the submission on the company side, and open a support ticket if necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. The portal is unavailable (maintenance).<\/strong> Qiwa may be offline during maintenance. Solution: try again later and, if the situation prevents an urgent action (transfer, contract), <strong>create a ticket<\/strong> with the support team to keep a record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Beware of fake Qiwa applications.<\/strong> Several apps imitating Qiwa are circulating. <strong>Never seize<\/strong> Your iqama number or a password in an unofficial application. Only use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/qiwa.sa\">qiwa.sa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In case of a problem: useful contacts<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Qiwa Support:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:support@qiwa.sa\">support@qiwa.sa<\/a> \u2014 helpline <strong>920000105<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment dispute (salary, contract):<\/strong> complaints platform <strong>Madad<\/strong> from the ministry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verification :<\/strong> Always confirm sensitive information on <strong>qiwa.sa<\/strong> And <strong>hrsd.gov.sa<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Is Qiwa reserved for Saudis?<\/strong> No. Saudis <strong>And<\/strong> Expatriates use the platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do I need to create a Qiwa password?<\/strong> No, in 2026 access is via <strong>Nafath<\/strong> (or Absher).
