Any thoughts appreciated.

Average annual salary for what????

your going as a family? expect more of a cost for you...kids will need to go into private schools....no whites in the state schools...a lot of racism towards the whites..Im assuming your colour of course

Yes, we're white.

OK thanks for your reply ~ I'm not sure it's worth uprooting us.

As for a salary...depends what you do isn't it!
The cost of living is on a par with the UK with the exeption of houses/rentals and cars!!! V.expensive on that front.
Hey Teacle Tart, Thanks for your answer...Well, ive been offered in the region of 65000BMD...in your opinion could I live comfortably on this salary?

it's not much really...you'd probably have to share a house to keep the rent down...thats the main expense the rents they charge...other than that go for it!! like i've said cars and rent are the main expenses there other things are like the UK...i take it your single right?

Look more into it if your interested but for a family you'd have to have a pretty high salary unfortunatly.

Hey designer112, that sounds like a good salary to me... I am on nowhere near that in my country. I wonder what they will offer me in BMD money?

So I'm guessing if its not more than 60BMD, I'll have to say no...

I certainlydont want to be struggling... Its a long way to go for a struggle.

What kind of position have you been offered.
