Hi. My iqamah will expire in 4 days. I just paid the renewal it this morning. My employer says he immediately did it (maybe he meant submitted or whatever. If my bank account (al rahji) freezes, will it be automatically unfreezed once my iqamah has been renewed?

Usually no. In most banks, there is an option online to update your Iqama expiry using your Absher account. You are going to have to do that.

you know what happened? my employer deposited to my account but the account number and IBAN are incorrect. When i told them about it, they corrected something on thier system and advised me to check in 2 days. OMG. my iqamah will expire in two days, and tho i paid for renewal already, it has not yet been updated up to now. how is this happening? i want to choke them to death. 😂 but really, i am so stressed. 😣
