re: NEOM COMMUNITY THREAD
Hi All!
I just obtained my visa and I should fly out to Neom before the end of the year. I was told I will initially stay at NC2.
Does anyone know if it’s allowed to have non-related guests (i.e. girlfriend) in NC2 and what are the rules (for example, is there any specific formality to register the guest, or a maximum number of nights allowed?)
Many thanks for sharing all these useful info

This is not true.
If you have someone you want to come and visit, you fill in an access request form and send through to the Access/Security team.

re: NEOM COMMUNITY THREAD
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently been contact by a recruiter about some opportunities at NEOM. I’ve scrolled through this thread and I can conclude that onboarding and accommodation is an slow and can take quite a while. I have a few questions before mentally committing to the process I’m hoping this group can help answer;
- I’m wondering, ball park, how long does it take from first contact to actually relocating to NEOM?
- I have a family (wife and 2 young kids), what is the wait time on accommodation? Am I likely going to have to move to NEOM by myself initially?
- my kids are young, 6 and 4 and would be going into grade 1 and kindergarten next year. Would they be able to go straight into school?
- are there employment opportunities for women at NEOM or the camps? My wife is an experienced Physiotherapist.
- What are the working days/hours generally? I would be in Finance.
Thanks in advance.

Neom's school enrollment without Iqama
==============================
Can a child attend Neom's school without Iqama issued for him/her? I have my child already enrolled in Neom's school at the same tentative date I am starting to work for Neom. On that date, neither myself nor my child would have Iqama. I can bring her with me on a visit visa but is that good enough for her to start school while we are processing our Iqamas? I am conscious that there are other implications for having her there without Iqama (such as health insurance coverage), but I just want to know if Neom's school does not mandate Iqama for a student to start attending school.
I also understand that this is a question to Neom's school (which I already asked and awaiting an answer to), but I am hoping that someone who was in a similar boat can help.

Hi All, currently exploring role with Neom for a manager position. I don’t have a University Degree only completing college in the UK. Will I have any issues obtaining a VISA? Currently work in the UAE and didn’t have any issue obtaining a VISA for a director position with my attested college certificate.

If this looks like it may present a challenge, talk to your recruiter or onboarder. Just because Cultural Affairs doesn't accept the degree doesn't mean that you will be excluded from the position, so don't immediately write things off. It just means you may have to have a few more discussions and probable some more paperwork.
Good luck

Hello quick question.
My status has been "under offer" since 30th of November and the date changed twice. Once it was changed to 6th of December and now it was changed to 15th of December. Does this mean anything, or has anyone experienced this before?

re: NEOM COMMUNITY THREAD
Hey! I’ve had a few issues with A1 too however I can assure you it is totally worth it! I’m not there yet due to visa delays but my husband has been there for 6 months and I have been out to visit and it is honestly incredible.
go in with a very very open mind, at the moment they have ran out of accommodation in camps so all new starts are being placed in a hotel in Duba but they are working on this and will get accommodation soon.
I’ve started working remotely from the UK as the team
needed me to progress a project. The on boarding team I have been told is working on making their process better but they aren’t the best at keeping in contact which I know can be worrying. We went through all the anxieties when my husband first moved but once he got there it definitely eased the nerves and now I’m just sitting back and waiting for the visa.
