I will explain here how you can check MOI available funds against your Iqama. And if you want, you can get back into your preferred bank account easily.

This fund is the amount that you or your sponsor have paid against your Iqama or Muqeem card for any purposes like Driving License, Family visit visa, Iqama renewal, Visa extension, and so on. You normally pay the fee against your request, but once the fee is no more at the portal, it means your transaction is completed like you got the visa extension or any other service is completed.
