Fantastic ccdoha for making the call and checking for me. It's normal they don't stock as they are customized. Takes a load of worry off. Will be able to sort things accordingly. Thank you so much.

Hi I am getting ready to take my role in Qatar. Recently I have been having some changes going on in my eyes. I am trying my best to sort my glasses and contact lenses before I come. In the event my eye does not become totally healed from injury I had in eye what chances for me to find an optician doing gas permeable lenses? I have tried soft lenses and find difficulty with them. Thank you.

Thank you ccdoha. I think it all sounds like what I was thinking. Dressing appropriately and the right outlook should wade off major issues. Thank you again.

Thank you ccdoha. Details really help. I am considering the potential career boost I could have. Extra boost in cash too helps. I will definitely take your recommendation of asking for 2 months guaranteed hotel accommodations and car services till I set myself up. I still have at least another weeks wait till I see my contract document. It is rather slow. As you say if I am ready for a few frustrations on the way, sounds like I could possibly enjoy life too. Anyways no conclusive decision till I see my contract document.

Thank you kiwisppiers. I think its a wait with the HR. 12,000 qar sounds quite expensive. I do hope its a decent drop.

Thank you for all the replies. I was hoping for some figures though when it came to projected expenses. Working_girl:It will be only myself and will be only looking for a single bedroom apartment. So costs I am looking at is for the maintenance of myself. I am looking for a car as well. Bubblewrap83: yes I am looking for a nice comfortable place with all the modern amneties. You could say something equivalent to what I could find in the UK. How much am I looking at for a single bed apartment. I will be getting an allowance. It has been almost 3 days. I know the HR guy was not going to be there yesterday. But still have not heard from them. How long does it take to get a contract document prepared and sent I am not sure. I am not really thinking I want the job and do feel a bit anxious. I have not accepted a verbal offer. Only thing I said was I am interested let me know the conditions. I guess the methods of working are completely disorganised to what I am more used to. Just that I want to not get myself into a complete mess that I would not enjoy and loose out what I have got at present. carathop:on discrimination, that sounds rather at an extreme. Quite a concern. Is this part of discrimination coming from the locals or expats itself? If I do find myself over there I hope I handle it all well. Hope I am able to find more answers before I make my final decision. Cheers ladies!
