NEOM Background Check & Importing a Car
Hi all!
It’s great to find some information about Neom here, literally the only source of online research! I’m excited about the company and the role, although I’ve heard some horror stories of working like a donkey there! So I’ve signed the offer letter today, but my background check hasn’t been completed. Given that its been initiated almost a month ago, I’m starting to get worried. Anyone experienced the same issue? I’ve checked with the HireRight and they say basically there’s nothing I’m more is required from my side. I’ve studied & worked in 6 different countries, could that be the reason, in case they run the criminal records? I wonder :’) Also, anybody has experience in shipping a car from Dubai to Neom? Thanks in advance and hope to see you guys there! |

No idea about the car but am in a similar position with the background check and I have only worked in two countries, and since the background check started I have got my own criminal record check back so think they are just really slow.

Are you getting your criminal records now to reduce the documents prep time? |

Haha yeah time line is quite crazy. Background check for 1 month, preparing all the other docs for another 1 month (I suspect it’ll even take longer than that, and then visa for couple of weeks again, totaling 3 months after all.
Are you getting your criminal records now to reduce the documents prep time? I applied for the criminal record check partly to speed up the process as I would already have it when needed and partly just because i was there and it is something i could do - everything else is relying on something being sent through and i wanted to feel like i was being active. |

Why would you resign without getting all your affairs in order first??

Re: NEOM Background Check & Importing a Car
I personally wouldn’t mind having 1-2 months gap in between. It would be a great chance to travel.
So I thought as soon as background check (maybe medical as well, just to make it sure) is finished, resign, do my 1 month, and then travel for a month. Alternatively I could wait until all the documents are ready, and right before the visa application, resign. Which is gonna be around 2 months + from now on. I’m inclined for the first option. Chance of failing to gather documents / getting visa rejected should be fairly low, although it seems like a really slow process. Am I being too naive/optimistic? |

I wouldn't, but they are definitely pushing me to. They have mentioned it several times so far I am using the length of the process versus my notice period to justify not doing it - I am not really worried about getting the visa but it is a massive risk as it seems to be very inconsistant with timelines.

Re: NEOM Background Check & Importing a Car
I am based in Australia where we have the right-hand drive, hence no point getting my car. Just wondering how the vehicle and fuel prices are around NEOM. Would it be better to buy locally in Saudi or import?

As far as the car, there are pool cars, rentals and a couple of WhatsApp and telegram groups for car pools. They are also working on setting up better shuttle system. You may not need one over here. Also, depending on where you live, you might have a hard time getting parking. As far as fuel, its pretty cheap. Cheers. |
