Might need to go there for long term work ... How is the living cost? Have to discuss salary so must know all these before giving them a figure sad.gif

ayam in qatar almost 2 years now

the cheapest accomdation has to be sharing 9k for 3 room apt. so if u share with 2 friends, 1 peopel 3k

car is cheap, i am driving mitsu lancer 2.0, bought it for 50k

fuel ron98 is qar 1 per litre = rm0.86 per litre

summer is hot can reach 50c but u dont need to go outside, most place got air conditioning

if u come single, i think minium has to get 15k

3k for acco

2k for car

1k for food & etc

another 9k to spend & savve

salary varries very much, if you got expat package, usually can get 20k, if u got non-expat paclage, maybe only 5-8k for junior position

how about medical? insurance?

medical for executive level usually fully covered, if they offer you family package, usually family also cover

including GIVING BIRTH & DENTAL... so few of my friends prefer to give birth in Qatar because its FREEE

i think the real pain in tha asss for Malaysian is not able to convert Malaysia driving license to Qatar driving license, i heard now can change but not sure, u better check with Malaysia embassy in Qatar.

public transport is not very convenient in Qatar, very hard to get legal taxi but lot of illegal taxi

Barua taxi banyak lah....tapi I pakai regular punya taxi sapu, Camri.

Driving license can use yr IDP from JPJ. If you want Qatar one, have to take test.

Near M Hotel ada kedai whole chicken roast QAR12 plus drinks around 15. Tapi tak kan hari hari nak roast chicken? Kalau lupa bawak chilli sauce, kena makan dengan HP Brown sauce and ketchup. Yucks!

IDP only valid if you are tourist, if working here i dont think its valid, anyway boleh check sama Malaysia embassy

makan memang problem, tak banyak option untuk orang malaysia...

There is no other way unless you convert. My 1 year car rental accepts my IDP.
