Re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

As I understand it you will have to pay it off before you can do your final exit. Note that if you are paying it off from the final payout you don't get that until you have done the final exit -...

Re: Heading back once again.....

Do you need one actually in Riyadh? I can recommend ours - we are in KSA, he is in Dubai. We've been v happy.

Re: Big 4 Audit SM Job Offer Dubai

We live in KSA rather than Dubai but I wouldn't want to be there for that kind of money on my own, let alone with a family. It's a recruiter's market at the moment though, salaries are definitely...

Re: Job Offer - PIF Backed Company

1. Yes. Salaries are softening across the ME as more people want to come here. That's a decent offer.
2. The schools attached to compounds normally have a waiting list. Went past Reigate...

Re: FBAR Please Help

Just FYI, it is easy to make cheap calls even if you are out of the country. You can use an app and make calls on your phone with that. Skype was the one that everyone used but that has gone now, ...

Re: Aramco and the quest for pay slips

I've been asked in the UK. It's becoming more common, it doesn't mean it happens all the time.

Loads of stuff from people on here on how offers work. For many a 20% uplift on a UK salary is...

Re: Aramco

Salary + x% uplift offers has been the norm for years. KSA much like Dubai now in that there are so many people who want to move they don't have to throw money around to get them to join.

Re: Aramco and the quest for pay slips

Standard - otherwise people will just make up the salaries that their offer is based on. It's also common in the UK these days, certainly not unusual to be asked. Redact the personal information if...

Re: Digital Architect Aramco KSA

Incorrect and you need to look up it. It's pretty straightforward and the gov.uk explains it very well, but it's not as simple as you suggest. Even when you move has an impact. To qualify for your...

Re: Digital Architect Aramco KSA

You'll be liable for tax as it's UK income, but if it's joint income it's most likely under the tax free threshold.

Re: UK Premium bonds/US/UK Citizen/US resident

You'll need to declare the income. You can manage entirely online, you don't need to worry about post if you don't want to.

Re: Potential relocation to Riyadh

75k would be a decent salary. You would need to see what the total package is as I'd assume you be wanting school fees etc. We were looking at compounds in the North of Riyadh relatively near the...

Re: Moving from UK to Saudi Arabia

Pretty sure the visa on arrival is 90 days in a one year period. It doesn't reset when you leave. Same as the e-visa.

Re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

Hardly cheating. It's a construction camp in the desert with a long wait to get into the school. Very few people get their housing paid these days. There's also no need to live in a compound now -...

Re: Another Riyadh compound thread ​​​​​​​:)

Can't see you getting a 2 bed for that. 1 beds are pretty much starting at that price. The likes of Al Nakhla are 170k and up, Wadi Qortuba about 190K with a 20% increase expected too. Little...

Frog61's question about transferring money to ME

Needs to be a full tax year for split year treatment and you'll need to tick the boxes for non-residency. The .gov website is pretty good at explaining.

Re: Relocating to Saudi & Interim Remote Contract

SAR is pegged to the dollar so no difference there.

Tax wise it's dependent on a number of factors as to whether you'd be liable for UK tax in KSA once you have arrived. Have a look on the .gov...

As above, have a look at the HMRC website, it's pretty good. Note that to qualify for a split year in terms of tax you have to complete a full tax year as non-resident. If you go out in July 24 and...
