Coming to Doha
Hello Everyone
I am coming to Doha in couple of days. Visa processing happened rather faster than expected! So I have some question, I hope you guys/girls dont mind answering them.
1. I have about 750 Euros ~ 3000 QR with me. Would this be enough for first month expenses? (Accomodation/travel is provided by my company). So this is basically for food--eating outside + phone+ internet+occassional movie.
2. In worst case is it possible to convert Indian Rupees to QR at a good rate inside Doha?
3. I have a Deutsche Bank debit card--Branch is in Germany--would that be of any help in paying/withdrawing money in Doha?
4. I am thinking of buying a 30 day Health Cover for first month from India. My company doesnt provide medical insurance. Does it make sense to buy 6 month cover in India or in Doha? What is a good coverage Riyals/Euros/Rupees is a good cover for 6 months?
Thanks a lot everyone, and sorry for asking so many questions! As I said, everything happened rather fast and I did not get time to prepare.

I think by this time you are in doha, do you know how it's in here. Anyway I can't figure out why you want to get a Insurance cover from India, since there are many insurance providers in doha. go to Doha Bank Assurance Company. All the best!
Thanks a lot everyone. You all are very helpful :)
Looking forward to my trip now!
1800 car, 300 fuel, 1800 rental+net, 500meal...shopping 300 = huhu. Cheapest If u r single ;)
hello friend
regaledwin is right 3000 is more enough to spend one month but all it goes according how you like to spend. besides welcome to qatar!!!
It all depends on how you eat and what u plan to do for 1 month...
Avg meal - 20(KFC, McD etc) to 50/60(good restaurants)
Movie..? 35QR
Phone - depends but avg 100QR if u plan to make calls back to your country.
Internet - again depends - 3g from ur fone is 400 for unlimited, if u get a landline then net is 200QR/month
People can live on 1500/month... but it all will depend on how you spend it.
And yes you can convert INR to QAR at most exchanges.
Your debit card can be used if its international - check with ur bank on the charges.
For Food & other expenses, QR 3000 is enough for a month.
