WOW this is only can be happen here in Saudi Arabia. Anyway the following process are require to get your Iqamah.

1. Valid passport must be with working visa
2. A week before expired of your working visa than will process of iqamah.
3. Medical check up. I do this medical check up at Madinah Clinic

As soon as you complete than you can go to imigration office for further process. If your kafeel ( employeer ) willing to do you will go together with him. if not you must used agent. You have to pay some amount of money, ranging from SR 300 to SR 500, unless is your due date expired you must pay more. This money use for "hadiah" or tips or just a gift to officer, Lazim the called or normal here in Saudi. You dont need to do finger print anymore caused when you enter the country finger print done at airport.
