Advice for joining Qatar Airways

[Capt Krunch]

Well Blacksteel7 has a valid point. Inflation here is very high. it has calmed down a bit in the past year, but still on the increase and wages are not. Saving money here is not so easy to do. Those of you who see only the dollar signs and do not know the reality of it. The truth is, if your making 12,000 USD per month (average Capt income with housing) you'll probably save 5000 if your single and around 2000 if you have a family. these figures are not conservative values. The unfortunate part of it all is when you actually see what you get for all the money you spend..

In addition to mounster; Keep some spare photo with you at all times, you need them allot here, as well as a copy of your marriage certificate in your car just in case.. I have been questioned in the past. your foreign drivers license will only be (legally) honored for 15 days after arrival in Doha, after which (you should have a Resident Permit) you must get a local drivers license.
