Relocation allowance-what does it cover?
I understand that if I take my reciepts with me to Doha I get refunded for any relocation costs. But what does that mean? The cost of posting stuff out to Doha? or buying things in Doha I need that I can't post out? Help! I want to take as little stuff as I can as I'll have no money-whatsoever-either to pay for posting stuff or supporting me through the first month so I will have to borrow it. Therefore it would be helpful to know what I get back.
Check with the company what the allowance is for. if they are paying it before you arrive, it will probably be for shipping items out either by air, sea or road. Obviously, if you ship by air, you will be able to ship less than if you ship by sea or road.
I know in the case of QP that the payment was supposed to cover packing, insurance, freight charges and customs clearance.
I am unsure as to if the QP allowance is still against receipts. As I said, check with the company and ask specifically if the payment is against receipts!
If they are offering a no limit payment then ship all that you need.
