Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Salaries vary enormously out here, from QR800/m for an Indian site labourer to say 100x that for a well qualified, western construction professional/ specialist. Not sure where you are in that range, but I'd guess somewhere in the middle.

However, the QR8k accommodation will allow you to rent a 2/3 bed basic flat or maybe a really poor quality villa in a rough area. You'll need to budget for providing some furnishings/ kitchen equipment yourself too.

The transport at QR1.5k/m is too low. A small basic car e.g. Mitsubishi Lancer will cost QR2.5k/m to rent.

Watch the Sponsorship thing - once you commit to an employer, your locked in and can't move jobs without their permission or have to leave Qatar for 2 years. So make sure you're happy with the deal before coming!

Oh, and remember you need to be here for a minimum of 1 tax year to keep HMRC off your case, which for you won't start until 6 April next year.

Another Oh, If you have kiddies, factor in up to QR9k each per school term (ouch).

Hope this helps.

[J]
