The color status of your Iqama can be red, green, or yellow. If your Iqama color is green, it means that your job is secure as it indicates that more Saudi nationals are employed in your company. If your company has a yellow-tag status, it means that the nitqat rate is not very attractive, but you can request your employer to hire more Saudi nationals to improve the status.
To check the red-green status of your Iqama, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to the official website of the Ministry of Labor-Saudi Arabia at www.mol.gov.sa.
- Enter your passport number, Iqama number, and border number.
- Select your nationality.
- Provide the verification code as shown in the image.
- Click on the green search button on the website.
The website will display the color status of your Iqama in Arabic.
The Nitaqat Program is a Saudi Arabian government initiative that aims to increase the employment of Saudi nationals in the private sector. It categorizes companies into different color statuses based on their compliance with the Saudization requirements. Green indicates a high level of Saudization, yellow indicates moderate Saudization, and red indicates low Saudization.
