A practical checklist for relocating executives to the Kingdom
A successful move is about more than a flight and a visa. The sooner families feel settled, the sooner your people are productive.
Before arrival
Work visa processing, document attestation, medical checks, health insurance enrolment and temporary accommodation should all be planned ahead of the travel date.
On arrival
Iqama issuance, home search and lease registration through Ejar, utilities, National Address registration and school enrolment fill the first weeks.
Ongoing support
Iqama and dependent renewals, lease renewals and a helpdesk for relocated employees keep things running smoothly after the first month.
Quick checklist
- ✓Start document attestation early
- ✓Line up temporary housing for the first weeks
- ✓Give each family a single point of contact
