Shifting to Qatar
I am planning to shift to Qatar on an assignment. Could someone help me to let me know the rent charges for 02 bedroom flat & also the details of school fees for good Indian school. How about getting 12,000/- QR/mth, shld it be sufficient for a decent family (02 + 02 kids) to live & save in Qatar
12500 for a family of 2 plus 2 kids should barely make both ends meet. the accomodation is very expensive at the moment and it will stay so for two more years as per the foreign minister. so ask your company to give you QR 10000 plus a house and ask them to pay for your kids schooling. you would probably save this then getting 12500 as a wholesome package.
the minimum price for a small flat i.e. one bedroom and one kitchen and a bath (studio apartment) is atleast 4000Q.R. add electricity, gas, water, car should be one thousand more. add food should be at least 2000 more. and if yous kids go to school it should be atleast 1000 more. so all this comes to 8000.
you would probably save 3000 Q.R. every month. if you live very very modestly and humbly. so go for my suggestion ask for a flat. good luck in negotiaions
Thanks for you advise, I am basically a graduate engineer from India with total of 15 yrs experience in the field of Facilities Maintenance in India & Gulf. My living standard is moderate, presently I m living in Gulf only with moderate living standard.
Could you please advise the salary range in Qatar with my type of experience, coz I am offered QR 12500/- p.m. as consolidated package include everything like housing, tpt, annual passage, visa & medical for family
...it depends on your lifestyle, but I think for a family with school kids. not at all! Count 7500 minimum for accomodation and food might be around 3000 for you...you"ll need a car (1000)
But as I said, it depends on your living standard! May be get in touch with other indians, as I am from a different culture and I might have other perceptions of living standards.
