Hi to all. Ramazan Mubarak . I am from Bangalore India. I have a few questions , if anyone experienced please do answer as im searching for answers and runnin out of time.

I have been offered a job by a Qatar Govt organisation. My salary offered is around 9k QAR per month + house
+ Free medical as per rules.

1.Im not someone who would spend extravagantly. so would this be enough for a living. Its a family visa, Im married, no kids yet.

2.Still awaiting Visa, so does family Visa mean that I fly with my family or is it that I fly to Qatar first and then call my wife along ???

Please do let me know info asap

As per my experience,you have to wait for getting the PR for bringing your family here, it will take around 2 weeks to 1 month.

after probation period only you are eligible to take your family under your sponsorship, or else you can take them on visit visa and can be transferred to PR.

No, u cannot covert the license directly, you need to go through the learning process and should appear for driving tests to get the driving license.

Hi Musheer,

I am also from the same place as yours, here since very long period,

If company is covering the house your other expenses are as below for moderate Indian life style.:

Food ( for one month for couple) -1500 to 2000 QR

Eating outside ( weekly once) - 400 QR per month.

Car considering Toyota corolla from bank loan of 5 years: 1500 QR per month.

Utilitiy/tel/misc expenses - 500 QR

Total expenses : 4000 - 4500 QR per month.

rest is your savings, if u feel comfortable and your saving potentials are more than your current job, please make a move, if u need any additional informations or clarifications u can always put a PM ( message ) to me.
