## FAQ

### Who needs a group-housing licence?

Every establishment with 20 or more workers. Its licensed housing has to cover the workforce registered on Qiwa.

### What happens if the housing isn't licensed?

Balady and Qiwa are linked, so Qiwa services such as visas and worker transfers stop, and the commercial registration can be suspended.

### We pay a housing allowance. Isn't that enough?

No. A housing allowance doesn't exempt you from the licensed-housing requirement.

### What do I need to send a request?

The city, your headcount, when you want to start, and a phone number. We ask for company details later, for the housing certificate.

### Are transport and meals included?

You pick what you need with the housing request: transport, meals and housing management.

### Which cities do you cover?

Riyadh, Khobar and Dammam.
