Change Profession
Update a worker's job title or profession on their iqama.
A profession change is needed when an employee's actual work differs from the profession on their iqama, or when they are promoted to a different role. The request is made through Qiwa, but not every profession can be changed to: some are reserved for Saudis and some require professional accreditation or an attested qualification. Tasami reviews the worker's case before applying and follows the request until the iqama profession is updated.
