What currency are you dealing ...What currency are you dealing in? If it is Qatari Riyal, unfortunately you are not even eligible to apply for a visit visa for your wife. If that is US dollar, you meet the eligibility criteria to apply for an RP for your wife under your sponsorship. In that case you'll be able to save some money but with some good planning depending on your lifestyle.

Even if your employer ...Even if your employer supports you by issuing a salary certificate to meet the visit visa requirement, practically, you are in for a trouble with this salary (in QR)IMHO.
Ready to live under asbestos sheets at the entrance of a villa? You might find one, but then its your choice.
Sorry to sound harsh but that is the reality.

Is 4000 Riyals considered a ...Is 4000 Riyals considered a good salary to live in Qatar?
I'm Egyptian and I'm offered a job as a Training and Development officer at a real estate company in Doha and they will provide accommodation (single)and transportation.
I have 4 yrs of experience in training and development and I'm currently not working.
My question is this offer worth to take?

I've seen your answer ...I've seen your answer indicating 1500-1800QR for 1 bedroom, kitchen and bathroom and I'm looking to your question where you asked if 3500 is enough. To get an answer close to your situation, you should first clarify currency of that "3500"; is QR, is U$D, is €? Second, the answer it will depend very much on your (and your wife) life style; I would say that 3500QR home allowance, it might not be enough, but again is depending on your life style

Depends on your ...Depends on your lifestyle;
4000QR is less; Since accom and transportation is taken care of, then ok, if you are single.
For family, i says ... difficult
marycatherine said
If your contract states a ...If your contract states a substantially higher salary than the 3500 you are actually being paid, this is illegal. Can you trust them to actually pay you even the 3500? I wouldn't.
You need to earn 10,000 minimum in order to sponsor your wife.
you would be foolish to come here under suspicious circumstances at the very least. This employer sounds like a crumb bun.

hi ...i agree brother Ur correct

Please dont convert Riyal in to INR ...If u have seen adds for 1500 house, what about other things , ur groceries,water & electricity, transport(company providing ok).
If you get her here, she will start cursing you day in day out
notnapster said
Do you have your own ...Do you have your own transport ? The Qr 1500 - 1800 housing might not be near you place of work, if you don't have transport, factor in the transport costs too.
If you pay Qr 1800 in house rent, you'll be left with Qr 1700. Factor in the visit visa charges for 6 months /-a-t-/ Qr 200 / month. The flight ticket charges.
Not a very safe situation.
If company is ready to provide accommodation, it might be possible else if I were you, I would wait for a few more months ( if you haven't already saved up ) and then think about getting the wife.
