GOSI FAQs

What happens if I don’t pay GOSI?

Failure to pay GOSI leads to the suspension of your government files. You will not be able to renew residency (Iqama) or issue new visas.

Is GOSI linked to salary transfer?

Yes. The Wage Protection System (WPS) compares your GOSI registered salary with the actual amount transferred via the bank. Discrepancies trigger audits.

Can I register GOSI without a bank account?

You can register the establishment, but you cannot pay the monthly bills easily without a corporate SADAD account.
