How do expatriates in Saudi Arabia usually show their Iqama status on a CV?

Many expatriate candidates add a short residency line in their personal details, such as "Residency: Saudi Iqama holder, based in Riyadh". It tells recruiters that you are already living in the Kingdom, which can matter for start dates.

Keep it simple:

• State only what you hold and where you are based.
• Do not write claims about whether your residence can be moved to a new employer or what the employer must do. Those depend on rules you should confirm on the official government portal or with the employer.
• Leave out your Iqama number and expiry date.

If you are not comfortable sharing residency details on your CV, leave the line out and answer the question when the employer asks. The builder's optional work authorization / visa status field can hold this line.
