U can get car from your employer, because most of employer offered car for their employees, otherwise you can bought through bank with 6.5% interest. Its easy if you can afford. But the main thing is getting Driving license. It’s a big task here in Gulf, especially in Dubai and Qatar. You have to join school and have to expend 1500 (if you already have a valid driving ) to 3000 QR for this task and it takes 30 to 90 days.

School education is also expensive like Indian schools getting QR 400 / month

Most of peoples from India getting low salaries like 6000 to 8500, for assistant / deputy manager post. But some earns better from 12000-20000 depends on the organization/job description/experience.

One more thing, if you like to bought your family with you, then salary should be more then 7500 QR (As per immigration law)

Dear,

Its good.. But not easy to survive here in a low salary.

Its upon your life style. How u like to live but before this you have to calculate your earnings in your home country.. & then offer what you have in Qatar..

Its true that the accommodation is very very expensive in Doha. Some of peoples are living here in sharing accommodation, they get the bed space from QR 700 to QR 1400 (depends upon the location and facilities), if you like to get independent room in a sharing flat or villa its goes to 1800 to 3000 per month.

Family accommodation is also very expensive, one bed room flat or portion is from 3000 to 4500 QR. And if you like to go for better one then starts from 6500.

But the food is not very much expensive. If you like to cook your self. You can manage it in 500 to 600 QR for normal food. Or if you like to arrange from Hotel then calculate it averagely QR 22 for one time.

You can get car from your employer, because most of employer offered car to their employees, otherwise you can bought through bank with 6.5% interest. Its easy if you can afford. But the main thing is getting Driving license. It’s a big task here in Gulf, especially in Dubai and Qatar. You have to join school and have to expend 1500 (if you already have a valid driving ) to 3000 QR for this task and it takes 30 to 90 days (on you expertise) . But mind it without vehicle its very difficult to live here.

School education is also expensive like Indian schools getting QR 400 / month (average).

So its upto you. What you are thinking ..

Most of peoples from India getting low salaries like 6000 to 8500, for assistant / deputy manager post. But some earns better from 12000 to 20000 depends on the organization / job description / experience.

And note it that if you to bought your family with you here then salary should be more then 7500 QR per month (as per immigration rules)

Good Luck.
