I get a job offer from a Bank in Doha, Qatar, is it enough salary for family of 3 kids?

The Salary is not good but you can survive because some of my friends are living in qatar with 18 K per month. They have good living with this salary over here in qatar as compare to their home country. Its all depend that upon your current status of living and job. Take care

I think so with three kids, It is about ti be impossible.

Hi Adaraf, the cost of living in Qatar is relatively lower than you may expect in other Middle Eastern countries. However, whether this salary is enough to have a good life and sustain your family in Doha all depends on your personal circumstances and your particular lifestyle and what you are used to. As you mention, your accommodation, utilities and transport are included, so this may go a long way to stretching your salary; however, if this amount is the total amount inclusive of these benefits, then you may find this salary may not stretch as far as you'd like. I suggest having a look at our Cost of Living in Doha page for a breakdown of what you can expect to pay for the basics in Doha. Also, if you're still in a position to negotiate your contract, have a read of our Expat Contract Negotiation for tips on negotiating the best contract possible.

Tq for all answers. I actually has signed contract, is it still possible to re-negotiate. Yes, right I will not be able to stretch it with the cost of school in it. So what shoul I do then ? Is it true if I cancel the visa will result with banned entry visa ? Tq

Hi All,

In regards to various job offers in Qatar it is best to do some research into the cost of living and then  figure out whether you salary will cover your expenses.

Remember much of your cost of living will depend on your own lifestyle - e.g. do you like eating out? Do you have children or a spouse to support?, etc.

The Cost of Living in Qatar page will act at a guideline for you.
