an iqama is not a "work permit".. its a living permit.... you need a work permit which is a special visa stamped inside your passport.. then you get an iqama which is your legal residence permit... it will show what status you are here on.. work, spouse, visitor, etc.. but its not your exclusive permit... and that has nothing to do with marriage.... a saudi woman cannot marry a non saudi man without special permission.. for one, she has to be a widow or a divorcee, and other than that, older than 40 (life over the age of an easy marriage).. if she is out of these catagories, she needs to apply and state her case and hope for approval, but only granted in extreme certain cases.. normally she is denied.. she absolutely will 99.9% never be granted a marriage to a non muslim... ( I wont say 100% cause you never know).. but the iqama has nothing to do with marriage.. if a maid escapes from her sponsor and wants to marry someone here in Saudi.. she certainly cannot do it legally.. Im sure people try to get around it and find some person that can perform marriage rites under the table, (outside the law).. but this marriage wont be approved by Saudiarabia, and if you are caught with this woman, you will be picked up for adultery and fornication and deported. you and her.. and you will be subject to public lashing for punishment... would you want to put her through all this? if you really want to marry your Philipino woman you have mentioned in past posts.. why dont you do the leg work and go to the Philipines instead of going through so much hardship here in saudiArabia.....

without residential permit aka iqama u cant breath in saudi arabia. work permit doesn't have relation with marriage. no marriage without iqama.

LOL, Mintee is sometime harsh. Well, here is way. Yes, as a man you can marry anybody. All you need to do is go to the relevant embassy, sort out the paper work. In worse case scenario she will have to go back to her country and come back again after you sort out the documents here and there. @invisible... Oh! Mintee! have a Invisible fan. Invisible Dude or Dudette are on some type of weed. Of cause I respect every answer here, regardless of who writes it. I never mentioned, any disrespect. Only, her reply was bit personal towards Abaid.
