hmmmm.... maldives is a nice place to relocate, why!?

A resort managers salary can vary from 1500$ to 7000$ depending on which resort will employ. usually branded resorts will pay higher in most cases.
i dont think its easy to get this job.
if you have Managerial job work permit and visa will not be an issue including dependents provided employer is ok with that.
if you are employed in a resort accommodation and food will be provided.
if you have to pay for accommodation in Male its considered expensive. lets say 2 bedroom small apartment will be about 1200 to 1500$ a month and 1 to 2 months deposit
internet is and 3G network easily accessible and affordable.
temperature through out the year will be between 25 to 34 deg F
Most expat children go to Billabong High International School and Kangaroo Kids.
Maldives population is about 420,000 people. expat population will be about 60,000 out of which 60% will be bangladeshi, 30%  Sri Lankans, Indians / others and balance Europeans.
if you live in Male or resort close to the City (Male') you will have access to shops. Maldives does not have Malls.
