Possible relocation to Doha - looking for some advice
My husband has been head hunted for a job in Doha and is now through to a final interview (eeeek!!), so it looks like it could be a reality that we relocate from Dubai (where we have been for the past 7 yrs) to Doha.
He would initially be on a 3 month probation during which time the company suggests he commutes on a weekly basis with full relocation for the family after successfully completing his probation, so now I am staring to investigate the reality of how things work in Qatar!! I have visited Doha extensively over the past 2 yrs for my work so I know what the place is like, but when it comes to hiring maids etc I’m a bit flummoxed as I read somewhere that you can’t sponsor a maid until you have been a resident for 6 months …..how on earth could we make that work? I work and it’s likely I could work from home in Doha so would need a full time maid from day 1 of relocating to look after our 2 yr old. Grateful for any advice on this subject?
Also, if successful the job would be in the West Bay area, and we’d be looking to rent a 3 or 4 bed villa or townhouse with close proximity to a good nursery / school in a couple of years. Can anyone share any recommended areas and what we should be budgeting for? (I’m guessing 15 to 20k p/mth?).
Serious squeaky bum time if this comes off so grateful for any advice anyone can offer!
With much thanks in advance.
