Advantages and Disadvantages of Nitaqat System

There are many benefits if a company or Maosassa falls in the Green or a Platinum category, but Yellow and Red are not in good shape. I will discuss a few.

Red Category Problems

• If your Mosassa is Red, you are in trouble because you cannot renew your Iqama and hence ultimately become illegal if the issue is not resolved.
• Your company cannot take any transfer.
• Any employee can transfer to any other Green or Platinum one without any permission from the Kafeel.
• Any employee can process his final exit via maktab aml.
• A sponsor or kafeel cannot put Haroof to any employee as his company window is closed and cannot do any transaction whatsoever.
• Changing the Profession is not allowed if the status is Red.
• A new visa cannot be issued.
• Work permits cannot be renewed.
• New branches cannot be opened.

Benefits for Platinum Category

If your company falls in this category, then you are in perfect shape, as the name suggests. You will enjoy the following perks.

• You have the freedom for new Visas.
• You can change the foreign worker’s profession to available options for expatriates.
• You can renew work permits.
• Best of all, you can hire employees from the Red and Yellow categories.

Iqama Validity Check

You need to have checked the expiry dates of your iqama as it is a must to know a thing about it. Once your Iqama is expired, all of your official transactions will be blocked, and you are now illegal in Saudi Arabia. Iqama is just a residence permit, as well as the identity in Saudi Arabia. A new Iqama is valid for one year nowadays. Earlier, it was valid for two years also.

Huroof on Iqama

This is one of the most undesirable things to happen for an expatriate here in Saudi Arabia. You will lose the job, and a ban will be imposed with a penalty if proven guilty. However, there are proper rules to follow by the sponsor before imposing it on your Iqama status.

What is Nitqat System?

The Nitaqat system is for the private sector in Saudi Arabia. It was introduced in the year 2011. The main purpose of the system is to facilitate Saudi Nationals to join the private sector. It categorizes the organization into six different categories, i.e., Platinum, Green (High, Medium, Low), Yellow, and Red. This percentage solely depends upon how many percent of locals the organization claims.

Nitaqat system was introduced in 2011 as part of its Saudization. So, there are categories based on which the system decides if that particular company is in the Red, Green, Yellow, Silver, or Platinum category.

Important to note that this system is being updated from time to time, so one should stay updated by visiting.

Saudi Arabia Green Card?

Finally, it is decided in Saudi Arabia to allow an Iqama Residency called Privileged Iqama. In this, you need not any sponsor or kafeel type person to tackle your issues. A holder can set up his own business, start a property business, and can have it under his name as an owner. It can be of two types, like a yearly basis or lifetimes, depending on the terms and conditions. This is a major step in Saudi Arabia’s history. It was announced in May 2019 through newspapers and online portals.

This is a major step to invite investors around the globe.
