Default Can I get an IQAMA for a Multiple Entry Business Visa?

Hi friends,

I have a multiple entry business visa to Saudi Arabia. So I have to go out of the country (i.e. to Bahrain / Dubai) once in 14 days.

I heard that if one has an IQAMA, he can travel to GCC countries easily.

I am not sure if I can get an IQAMA with a multiple-entry Business Visa.

Can someone let me know if it is possible?

Best regards,
Pavankks

Sorry. The answer is no. Iqama is in fact a residence permit which you only get with a work (or dependents) visa.
