I saw your ad on the classifieds. Places with a pool and gym will cost you a lot, you'll never find a 2 bedroom with those facilities for 8.5k. I think with the amenities you want you'll pay at least 14k for a 2 bedroom.

If you got allowances that's it, they won't reimburse you the actual amount. So if you spend more than that, you'll have to take it out of your pocket, if you spend less than that, it's money in your pocket.

Thank you very much for the answers submitted so far. I got only allowances for housing and school fees.

Is that the practice of big banks there or do they reimburse the actual amounts.

I really appreciate your time answering my questions.

Thanks

They will probably put you in a hotel first for 2 weeks (it may vary, some banks might pay the hotel for longer). I would not advise you to try and find accomodation from there. On your first day here, get the newspaper and set up tons of appointments with real estate agents. Doha Jadeed is an area right behind the bank street. Musheireb is also pretty close. And there are loads of apartments coming up around those areas. You will not have a problem finding a flat.

two bed room fully furnised will not come up less than 8000 Qr.

You should also try finding it in Al sad area as accomdodation is there too and it is near to grand hammad, you wont find it on grand hammad itself. Car is extremenly neccesasry here in Doha, try buying it as soon as possible.

I am also in the company accomdoation for two months, although it is fully furnished but still i want to have my own independent one. Although my budget is as per the market price still i am not sucessful up till now.

Anyways good luck man.

If you got a job from a bank and you are from overseas, the housing should have been included or they should find the housing for you. They can't expect you to find your own housing from Canada.
