I have my account in my home country and I have a QNB account here.
Problem are the fees. To get money with my home debit card in Qatar is as expensive as 8% (minimum 15 EUR) (I have not even thought about getting the cash with the credit card).
And wire transfer are around 5%.
Sometimes, I take advantage of some of the trip going and back to my country so I bring an amount of money enough for a couple of months here in Qatar. But Im tired of carrying cash money, and I dont like... I dont feel safe.
Thats why I was thinking about offshore banking, but as far as I understand from comments above and everything I read it looks like I was wrong and it doesnt fit to my needs...
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
