How to Submit a Transfer Request on Qiwa: Complete Guide

Qiwa’s transfer service covers a broader set of workforce movements than a single sponsorship change, including transferring services between establishments under the same owner, moving employees between related company files, and handling other administrative transfers that do not fall strictly under an employee-initiated or employer-change request. This guide explains how the general transfer request process works on Qiwa and how it fits alongside related services.

What “Transfer” Means on Qiwa

While Qiwa has dedicated services for employee-initiated sponsorship transfers and employer changes, the broader transfer function on the platform also covers moving workers between branches or related establishments, transferring specific services or quotas from one company file to another, and other administrative adjustments employers need to make as their business structure changes.

When You Would Use the General Transfer Service

• Moving an employee between two branches of the same parent company
• Consolidating workforce records after a merger or restructuring
• Transferring specific service entitlements or quotas between linked establishments
• Administrative corrections that do not involve a change of actual sponsor or employer

Before You Start: What You Need

• Access to an authorized Qiwa establishment account
• The Iqama number of the employee involved in the transfer
• Confirmation that both the sending and receiving establishment records are active and in good standing
• Any supporting documentation relevant to the specific type of transfer being requested

Step-by-Step: How to Submit a Transfer Request

1. Log in to your Qiwa establishment account.
2. Navigate to the transfer or workforce management section of the dashboard.
3. Select the type of transfer that matches your situation.
4. Enter the employee’s Iqama number and confirm their current record details.
5. Select the destination establishment or branch for the transfer.
6. Review the summary and submit the request for processing.
7. Monitor the request status from your dashboard until it is approved or completed.

How Transfer Requests Differ From Employee-Initiated Transfers

An employee-initiated transfer typically involves a worker actively seeking to move to a new, unrelated employer, often used when contract conditions allow the employee to change sponsorship independently. The general transfer service covered here, by contrast, is usually initiated and managed entirely by the employer for administrative or structural reasons within a related business group.

Processing Time and Approval

Straightforward transfers between related establishments with no outstanding compliance issues are often processed quickly, sometimes instantly, while transfers involving more complex changes may take longer as the system verifies both establishment records. Checking the status regularly from the dashboard is the best way to stay updated rather than assuming the request has failed if it takes a little time.

Common Requirements for Approval

• Both establishments involved must be free of major labor law violations.
• The employee’s Iqama must be valid and not expired.
• Any applicable fees or quota conditions must be met before the transfer completes.
