Hi All,
Just looking for a little information about living in Bahrain and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My boyfriend has the opportunity for a position in Bahrain, which he is very interested in, we are still unsure of the total package, and it is still very up in the air but we were just wanting to get a feel for things...
First, we aren't married... What problems does this posess? I know that there will be issues in regards to visas but I have heard of couples where one person enters on a tourist visa, then just crosses the border every 3 months... how do-able is that? It would appear that it would not be necessary for me to gain employment immeadiately financially.
Secondly, if we were to do that, what are the opporunities for English speaking people to gain employment once there? Such at reception/ secretarial work or teaching english? How easy is it to gain sponsership for a working visa?
Thirdly, it looks like housing wise we would get 1000 a month, then the salary on top of that. What is the cost of living like in Bahrain? We have no children so that would not be an issue?
If we were to accept the position, where is the best area of Bahrain to live? We are a young english speaking couple.
Thank you all in advance of your responces.
