By Adriana J

Dear All,

We are Sri Lankans and my husband wishes to work in QR and take me n 8month baby along..
1. How much is the cost of living and how much of a salary and benifits should he demand for?
2. Taking us along first or should he first save some n then take us there is better?
3. What are the formalities to take us later or can you'rl advice us on expenses for a family iving in QR?

Appreciate if you can help us in this matter.

Take care!

Han - Nope he hasnt got any offer as at yet, we are just checking if Dubai or QR is better.. I saw through some of the comments 10k min to get family visa. Thanks Han for your comments. Best wishes for the new year!

Kuma - Thanks for the detailed reply and appreciate it. We are living a normal life and hope he'll get an offer with the family so that no need of going through alot of hassle.

All the best for the new year!

Hi,

I here since 2007 & from Sri Lanka. This My Succession according my Experience.

1.This Depend on your Life Style.

If Its Simple these costs per Month

a. Accommodation - 2500QR - 3500QR

(1Bath room,Separate Kitchen,1 Room,Living Room)

c.Groceries & Food 1000 - 2000

d.Clothes & other thingd - 1000 - 2000

2. This depend on How your Husband Get Offer. If its with Family Accommodation With All Facility its fine.

If he get only money for accommodation then he need time to find flat for the Budget.Then You Come Later Better.

Also if he get Visa for Wife & family you can come anytime.

If His Offer At least 10000QR is enough to Start Living here easy.But Still its 5000 - 10000Qr you can not Come as husband sponsorship.Then He have to Find Visa here for you.

Please remember that for your husband to be eligible to get a family visa, to bring you and your child here, he should be drawing a salary of qar 10,000/month.
