π³ Your Employment Contract
So you've landed a job! Congrats! The next steps will be as follows:
The employer may send you a soft offer via email - this is only for review and does not constitute the actual job contract yet
Ensure you already have your Iqama number and details set up (if not, you can find these in the Getting Started section)
The official job contract will be sent to you via Qiwa, the official KSA government platform for employment - log into this with your Iqama number and approve the contract
Once you have approved this, you are ready to go based on the official working day! You can also use the platform to print out salary certificates / employment letters if needed for any official entities
Any updates or changes to your contract will have to also be confirmed through the Qiwa platform
Next, you will have to set up your Bahraini social insuranceΒ
π‘ If the employer has sent you a soft offer before Qiwa, please review to confirm all details match the original offer
π‘ Some employers may only send the Qiwa request on the first working day - if you still have not received it by then, ensure you request it from HR, otherwise you cannot be legally protected without one
