If you're coming here I'd be looking at better schools than the Pak schools....sorry but there are much better schools around.
What housing are you after? Rents vary A LOT
Unit or villa. How many bedrooms etc, it can make a big difference.
Again everyone asks if they can save....well depends on your lifestyle etc ...its hard to say 1650 may be plenty for some people here with families but not enough for some singles !!

Thanks brother Choudary
I need 3BR flat my kids are studying Fbise course and dey r g12/g11/g10/g7 we r currently in Jeddah thinking to move Bahrain

I'm not a brother  :| ...
I have no idea what fbise is
Perhaps someone else can guide you better but there are property sites where you can see rental properties and put in what you are seeking so it will give you an idea of rent

Hi Qazi,

I would say 1650 is not so much amount with three children if you want to save money. As 3 bedroom Vila may cost you 400-700 bd.

Hello A. Qazi - hopefully I can try to respond to yoru queries below:

BD1,650 is equal to SAR16,500. Do you really want to take a pay cut to move from KSA to Bahrain? You should think about this seriously since the cost of living in Bahrain is higher than in KSA. Therefore your savings potential will reduce in comparative terms

This is another reason why you should really think carefully about moving to Bahrain to a job that would pay you lower than what you make now. Children's education, medical and air fare are all more expensive in Bahrain. Usually employers pay these for professional categories.

This is certainly true. Bahrain is a much open society than KSA and there are a number of entertainment options available here.

4. CAN I MANAGE GOOD LIFE WITH KIDS EDUCATION IN PAKISTANI INTL SCHOOL


You should be able to since Asian private schools are generally not as expensive as Bahraini/European private schools.

Housing cost can vary depending on a number of factors. Monthly rent will range is from BHD200 (for an unfurnished 2 roomed apartment in an old building) upwards.

6.ESTIMATE MONTHLY COST FOR LEASED TOYOTA HIGH ROOF 4X4


Is there a particular model you have in mind? Cars start at about BD150 per month. Mid-range luxury cars are about BD400 per month. Super luxury cars and SUVs start at BD500 per month upwards.

Your potential employer will work these out for you. They will need to get you a work visa and residence permit first. Then they will sort out family visa. Process can take anything between few days and few months!

Just a sort of advise, if i am in your shoes i will stay in KSA which i believe a practical choice
I was able to work in Saudi for more than 3 years before i shift to Bahrain
Lifestyle and cost of living has big different between KSA to BH

I guess there is no issue if you are living in a conservative country like KSA as long as you are with your family

You can bring your family to Bahrain every month to enjoy the open society

But still the decision still in your hand

God Bless to you my friend

Thanks Dear,
Its my Final, I will stay in ksa

Hi Gharieb.

Could you please NOT post in uppercase.
It is considered rude and the same as shouting at someone.
Thank you for your understanding.
