Saudi Arabia
Muqeem Portal
The Saudi Ministry of Interior portal employers use to issue, renew, and manage Iqamas.
Overview
Muqeem is the General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) platform built for sponsoring establishments. While residents handle their personal services on Absher, the sponsor-side actions - Iqama issuance, renewal, exit/re-entry visas for workers, dependent management - happen on Muqeem.
Access is restricted to establishment users (typically the company's Government Relations Officer / GRO). Workers themselves do not log in, but everything Muqeem produces shows up on the worker's Absher account.
Services offered
- Iqama issuance (employer-side)
- Dependent fees
- Sponsorship transfer
- Exit visa issuance
How to access
1. Establishment registration
Employer registers the establishment on Muqeem using its commercial registration and Ministry of Interior credentials.
2. Assign GRO users
The establishment admin assigns Government Relations Officers (GROs) who handle day-to-day Muqeem actions.
3. Use for worker services
GROs log in to issue and renew Iqamas, file dependent requests, and pay fees on behalf of workers.
FAQs
No. Muqeem is for employers only. Use Absher Individuals for personal services and track Iqama status there.
Muqeem is sponsor-side (employer issues and renews Iqama). Absher is resident-facing (you check status, pay fines, request travel permits).
Common causes: unpaid dependent fee, lapsed CCHI insurance, or pending traffic fines on your record. Check Absher first.
