Hi

Welcome to the forum.

That is actually quite a good salary but you need to consider the cost of schooling and medical insurance. Could your employer cover these for you too?

You need to find out as much as you can and let us know so we can help you more.

The guide to Bahrain will help you too

Its quite good offer but education and medical in Bahrain is very expensive. For BD800 inclusive house and Tranport for the family of 4 is tight. Just try to move alone and observe then after a few months take your family ....

Thanks for all your responses. My first plan was to actually go to Bahrain on my own first to test things out and see if everything's going well for me then I guess my family can follow too.

That's exactly what we did and it's by far and away the best thing to do

Good luck with everything and feel free to contact us if you need any more information

Please do let your employer know that you have a family and you will need to bring them to Bahrain at a later date. This way, you will ensure that they are aware of this and will not cause you any trouble nor act surprised when you tell them in a few months time.

Good luck!
