Jibba Jabba...I sent my friend an email and just waiting for him to respond. I'll post what I find out.
For those interested...
- Qatar will give you QR 1750 for food.
- 50% advance pay (QR 10750) is available if you are in need of money, which will be taken out on your next check.
- Company van will be available for 1-week to shuttle you between hotel & the training center, after which you must provide your own transportation. Rental cars range from QR 1800 & up.
- Bond (18-month prorated) is taking out of your check from day one.
- Medical exam cost QR 1436. Qatar will reimburse you.
My friend said he spent initially $2500.00 when he arrived. He recommends to have a credit card at your disposal or have at least $3000.00 to get you through until you get your first check (unless you take the pay advance).
