Hi Pbarik76,

Cost of living is a topic which is discussed in great detail in the forum. Please read the numerous posts and you will get an excellent idea of how far your salary of about R.O. 2,000/- would take you. All I would like to say is, yes, you can save some amount after your expenses. But it may not be much.

Family joining visas for dependent parents and in-laws are no longer being provided. However, check whether your company can do something about it.

Good luck.
