@govind.

Family 1BHK semi furnished will be around 4k-8k in Doha and 2k-5k outside Doha

Food if you cook - 200 QR per month per head

Food if you dont cook - 1k to 1.5k per month per head

Travelling if you live in Doha and dont have a car - 1k QR/ month

Travelling if you live outside Doha and dont have a car - 2k to 3k QR/month assuming your office will be in Doha and you will have to travel everyday

schooling is expensive. take 2k every month.

total would be somewhere around 8k to 12k per month expenses.

When you apply for license then you will spend around 4k to 5k QR and then you will need a car. so plan accordingly. You will not be able to bring your family right away will take atleast 3 months for you to come and setup everything before u can start application for family visit visa.

6k u can stay alive in Qatar alone. But, just stay alive. Not live your life and bring ur family.

Hi Govind.

Engineers from india ,1st time gulf, exp.under 5yrs,are generally offered with 6000+accommodation.

If you want to experience new life go as a bachelor ,work for 2 yr and enjoy the entertainment you will receive after 24 months.

i bet you will have a far better future than being here after 2 yrs.

this is salary of auto cad draft man not design engineer, don't accept it if you are really engineer, and do accept it if you are simply cad operator, but my friend i have doubt about your qualification that an engineer might be not canvased for knowing 3D modeling for key skill!!!!! so for me difficult to advise you.

You need a minimum of QAR 10,000 salary to be allowed to bring your family to Qatar!! With QAR 6,000 you CAN'T bring your family.

Look at the expenses that you have to bear here. It would cost you around QR 2500 to find a single room accommodation. You will need another 1500 for your essential needs including miscellaneous expenses such transport. You may be able to save the rest. However, at that salary you will not be able to bring a family on a permanent visa. To apply for a permanent visa you need a minimum salary of QR 10,000 per month. Also, a family accommodation will cost your more possibly around QR 4000. Based on this guideline, you can make your own decision.
