I am at advanced recruitment stage. Before NEOM assigns onboarding team, and the agency I need to work with; I want to be proactive and ask as to what can I prepare in advance to keep everything ready? What documents should I keep handy so I can focus on the ones which may need more time and focus?

I am Canadian and if someone from Canada here can let me know which agency they worked with for visa processing for NEOM, I'd be thankful.

Thanks.

Also really appreciate this honest review, definitely food for thought.

WRT to the average salaries mentioned, I know it says "including all allowances", but confirming this means eg. Senior Manager gets 75k SAR/month in their bank account, which includes transportation and housing allowances? So "basic salary" is some amount less than these average figures?

Related, I understand that the 20-30% uplift isn't guaranteed, but as a general rule where the uplift is applied, is it your current salary + 20-30% uplift = basic salary, OR your current salary + 20-30% uplift = the average salaries mentioned above (i.e. includes allowances)?

TIA!!

In terms of living outside of camp, I have heard of some people commuting from Tabuk to work, it is around 180km away from Neom though.

Thanks.
