Hi
I am planning to move to sohar and have a family with 3 yr old kid. I have a few questions and appreciate feedback on the same.

1. Housing- How much would a 3 BHK apartment cost and a residential locality.

2. Schooling- Are Sohar Internation School & Al-Batinah School the same. If not what is the fee structure.

3. The company is offering me around 2800OMR. Is this a good salary in Sohar.

4. How much time does it take to apply for your family visa??

Thanks in advance.

Hi,This is a quite a decent Salary for Sohar.
A 3 BHK would not cost you less than RO300 in good location.
Also School fee is quite reasonable.Family visa depends on your sponsor.You can call your family on a visit visa & later transfer it to a family joining visa.Moreover doing a Medical in Sohar would be very easy & fast.
