Essential relocation plans
Hi to all the lovely ladies over there
I'm a 36 year old Indian female living in Hyderabad, India. My husband is in the process of finalizing an offer with a small company in Sharjah for employment.
If finalized and all goes well, we (including 2 kids) will be moving to Sharjah by Jan 2016. Before that I'm trying to prioritize and plan things for smooth transition.
Can anyone guide me with the following?
1. What is the present rate (for rent) of a 1 or 2 BHK apartment in Sharjah?
2. School fees for KG and Grade 2 in Sharjah with an Indian or CBSE school.
3. What is the average grocery bill incurred for a family of 4?
4. What is the school bus fee?
5. We follow a very minimal and limited lifestyle, no alcohol or too much of eating out and expenditure on entertainment out of house.so what would be the ideal expenditure per month we can expect in Sharjah?
6. Also what is the scope of socializing with the local and Indian women in Sharjah? Do you have any ladies clubs, association etc where ladies can get together periodically?
7. what are the formalities for opening a UAE bank account for expatriates (women, non-working)?
8. How soon one can acquire a driving license in Sharjah? What are the formalities?
Please guide me so that I can plan the transition for my family.
Thanks in advance.
