Housing for grade 113 HMC
Hello Friends,
I am joining HMC on grade 113. My offer letter says accommodation provided but there is no clarity or details on it. I have some questions & need your help -
1) What type of accommodation is provided for grade 113?
2) Is that fully furnished or unfurnished?
3) If unfurnished do they pay for furnishing?
4) How far is the accommodation from the hospital?
5) If we dont like the accommodation they have provided, can we get housing allowance to search the house of our choice ourselves?
Please help me get answers to the above mentioned queries. Thx in adv.
hi gaurav. I agree a lot with dreamz.
Your accomodation depends a lot on where HMC plans on making you work. If it is in Wakra, accept the Barwa village as it is closer, I however do not recommend accepting the housing allowance for 6K as it is peanuts. Accept the accommodation, but after careful negotiation. All the best.
oh and btw, your inital accommodation will be in the HMC guesthouse in Bin Omran or in the Medical city
Thanks a lot Dreamz. I appreciate your help.
Well, the plan is that I would come alone first & stay there until I get my RP. I have heard that only after I get my RP, I can apply for my family VISA. What type of accommodation I would get initially & will they change once I get my family there?
What type of help are they providing to get family VISA expedited?
Regarding point 5, so if my spouse isnt working I am eligible to get 6000 QR and I have to search accommodation myself. Correct?
HMC housing is on of the most uncoperative dept in the corporation.Usually the first option they give u is all the rejected accomadation.SO you have to be meticulous in choosing one.
1)For grade 113 it suppose to be a villa but suject to availability.Now days there are ofering flats only to new specialist.
2)and 3)IF semifurnished they pay QR 10000. If unfurnished they pay 30000.But if u leave prior to 3 yrs you have to pay back certain amount ( not sure of) otherwise its exempted
4)Again how far it depends.If its Medical city then 5 mins.IF its wakra then 30-45 mins.
5)Yes housing allowance is 6000QR if ur spouse is not recieving the same.
Hope it was helpful.
