Cost of living is less because there's generally less entertainment and stuff to spend on. Rent is crazy expensive. Night life is nothing compared to Dubai's, there are a few bars and no proper clubs, every once in a blue moon there's a party held at one of the hotels.

As for ur fiance, she can come here but not on ur sponsorship, she can come on a tourist visa and keep renewing it until u get married and then u can get her the RP on ur sponsorship or she would have to have a job her ready before u guys come so that her company would sponsor her. It is illegal for u to live together but alot of people do it, as long as ur discreet and don't bug anyone than noone will notice.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
