Meron po bang info about Filipino cost of living in Qatar ?

I suspect that the cost of living info in QL is general in nature. There will be more blue collar workers from the Phils coming to Qatar and any info on the cost of living with a "touch" of Pinoy culture will be most helpful. Napakahirap po ng buhay ngayon and new OFWs will try their very best to save for their family back home. Salamat po sa tulong.

kung gusto mong mag bed spacer dito ang average rate is 700 Qr. - tapos 6 kayo na mag share sa isang kwarto then probably 12 kayo na mag share sa isang toilet...o d b bongga!

I would suggest na kumuha ka na lang ng company provided accomodation wala ka pang problema. Pag kain na lang. In terms of food - probably it will take almost 15% of your earnings - depende sa dalas mo kumain sa labas.

Transportation is another thing...kung wala kang sariling sasakyan you should have your own private transport or masunog ka sa araw kakaabang ng taxi. Ang average na singil ng transport is 25 Qr. per trip. Depende pa kung company limo ang tinawagan mo 40 Qr. per trip.

Good luck and I hope this helps even a bit!
