Is Ghaziosmanpasa district safe to live in with a family?

Hi, I have an expatriate package offer to work in Krakow, Poland. The company offered me accommodation, meals & air ticket allowances, plus at net pay of 40,000.00 Polish złoty, it is stated as monthly salary.  A contract of 8 years is offered by the company and I am requested to submit my information and also the application form and contract agreement back to the company, may I seek your advice on this, is this a realistic figure that the company offered me, I suppose this 40,000.00PZ is an annual compensation amount.

Thank you.

Hi. We are migrating to Canada and have chosen Montreal as our destination. As my children have only studied in English, will there be any assistance available at the public schools to help them learn French from scratch? I have a 10 and 12 yr old. Which grades will they be eligible for? Which schools should I be looking at. Can I arrange for admissions while I am still outside Canada?

What is it really like to live in Qatar? I know that there have been so many changes leading up to the 2022 FIFA football world cup and that the country is developing and modernising its services at an exceptionally rapid pace. Does this affect normal living, like is there lots of noise with construction, does it affect traffic/roadworks? On that note, what is the best and most convenient way to get around Doha? Should I hire a car or just get around using taxis or Uber in the capital city?

Hiya,



I am looking for advice on renting / leasing a 2 bedroom apartment as I haven’t been able to find anything of certain by browsing online. 



I am moving to Abu Dhabi with a female friend so we are planning to share a flat.



Do landlords or agencies accept two friends sharing an apartment and going on a lease as friends? Similar way like we can in Uk for example?



Are there any hidden costs associated with leasing a flat?

Hi all, as an expat planning on moving to Oman soon, I’ve done lots of reading around working and living in Oman, but there are some things that I need some clarification on. Hoping that someone can help!

I am planning to move to the Netherlands but have no idea regarding pensions. I was awarded PIP enhanced and my retirement pension plus a small monthly pension. I am going to sell my house and buy a house in Zaandam but not sure where to start.

Can I get info on pensions and buying a house in the Netherlands?

Hello Expats!

I know that public transport in Oman is limited overall, but I was wondering if anyone had tips on the best way to get around Muscat and Oman during this coronavirus pandemic? The news is constantly changing about COVID-19 and Oman being in lockdown and I want to know are the buses running? I normally rely on my partner's car to drive around and that seems to be the easiest option, but I'm curious about the alternatives.

Thanks

Hi, can anyone recommend a good tax/residency consultant in Italy one that works with international tax? I am looking for personal and business advice.

Hello,

My name is Asil Rashid. I am a Canadian citizen who has lived abroad for the past several years. I am planning on moving back to Montreal in September 2020. I will be going with my 4.5 year old daughter, who is a British citizen. As soon as I move back, I would have to reestablish my residency. Also, I want to ask about the eligibility of my daughter going to kindergarten either under the English Montreal School Board or the French school system. She will be turning 5 on January 8, 2021. 

I would like to connect with expats living in Chennai to share experiences.

Hi there,



My friend and I are planning to move to Abu Dhabi around late September this year, providing UAE will start issuing visas again and things settle. She has already got a job lined up (physiotherapist) but I have only just started looking.

Hi there :)

My husband, our two young sons and I are considering a move to Canada next year. I currently have the great privilege of working part time as a communications professional and being able to fit my hours around the kids' schooling. I wondered whether this is achievable in Canada too, i.e. are there many professional-level part-time roles available? The job sites would imply not but it would be great to hear from some expats in Canada about what it's actually like and how the work culture is :)

Thanks in advance!

Must teachers be a native of the USA or any English-speaking country to teach English in South Korea?

Dear Members,

I live and work in Miami and would like to bring my niece to study in high school in the area where I live. It seems she would need an F1 visa and I wonder if there is any agency that could help me with all the legal aspects.

Thanks,

I would love to visit Guatemala on my gap year after finishing school. Does anyone know how easy is it to buy stuff, go shopping, access medication, go to pharmacies etc. in Guatemala? I've heard that shopping opportunities are few and far between, and that there is not much variety for food and take-out options like in major cosmopolitan cities – is this the case in Guatemala City?

Thanks

Hi. I am new here.

I am looking to possibly buy a little one-bedroom apartment in Mallorca within the next year. Just looking for as much information as I can find.

Does anyone have info on mortgages, taxes, electricity, water, gas costs on average, and anything/anyone that I would need to pay each month?

Thanks a lot for your help

I am considering moving to Dubai and was wondering.. would I need to buy a car there or is public transport enough? And if I need to buy, where is the best place to get a used car?

My partner lives in Hungary and I'd like to move there from Canada. I read that you need a work permit and a residence permit. I just have a few questions. For the work permit, can you apply if you're self-employed or do you need to get hired by a company first? For the residence permit, how much money do you need to prove you can support yourself in Hungary for however long the permit lasts and do you need an apartment in your own name or can you live with someone and use their address? Thanks.

Hey there,

A good friend of mine and I are ready to leave the rat-race of the finance industry in NYC and pursue a long-standing dream of setting up our own bar. As doing this in New York is totally out of the question for us, my friend suggested the idea of us giving it ago in Nashville - apparently it's a great place to be an entrpreneur.

Hi, 

Is the education system/curriculum in Singapore same as in the UK?

I'm considering to pay a subscription for this website Twinkl.

They are a UK based company but do have a Singapore domain. Just want to make sure when I move to Singapore, I still can use their resources for my son and they are related to what schools in Singapore teach.
