Cost of Expat Living in Angola for a US$2000 offer

Hi Zegurae,

I think that whether this salary is enough or not depends also on your lifestyle.

Please feel free to have a look at the other topics in the Cost of living in Angola section. You might find some relevant information about cost of living.

Thanks,

Priscilla 

Priscilla is right , depends on your lifestyle. I have filipino staff working under me and they are earning the same and they do save more than 60% of their salary.

Sergie,
Hi..how are you?
your offer of 2000$ salary plus 60,000kwanza as financial /accountant is too small and that 50% holiday pay plus 22 days vacation is not OK.But with regards to your accommodation, hospitalization and medical/dental is OK.Only , you have to request for car, internet WiFi, and an employee who will maintain your house,clothes, and will cook for you, if u like (empregada)
You are going to Luanda, a very very expensive country, means when I say expensive, I mean it.
To set an example, a friend of mine went to a dentist for one tooth extraction, she paid 16,000kwanza.I went to opthalmologist for consultation, I paid 10,000kwanza.


For a position like you, the salary is ranging from 3500  to 4000$, but be sure. you will receive your salary in dollars.,and they must open an account for you.Its very hard to send money coz no western union here.How I send, I'll tell the next time.
I think you have to read the"the lei geral"of Luanda.
With this ,I hope I share some ideas for you.
Now, I wish you goodluck, and welcome to Luanda,soon.

Piesces

Hi Riku,

I think we got the same offer, but based on the thread above the offer is pretty small.

I am still following up on this topic as I am interested with the offer.
