Hello G.Balaji

So as to be able to compare your salary to the living expense of Kuwait and others salary, I invite you to check out threads in our Cost of Living in Kuwait section of the forum

Hi G. Balaji!

The Industrial Electrical Projects Co. was established in the year 2005 and has since successfully operated in the State of Kuwait and has acquired a number of Type Test Certifications from KEMA HIGH POWER LABORATORY from Netherlands according to its website. It appears to be a fairly reputed Co.

But compared to your present offer this offer is a bit on the lower side. 1000 KD equals roughly $ 3300. So if you consider the remaining $ 800 as the balance, it roughly comes to about 235 KD. That can hardly cover your accomodation, travelling, groceries and other stuff. In some parts here that is the monthly rent for a 1BHK Apartment unfurnished. You will probably require another similar amount for the rest of your monthly expenses considering that your child is still small and there is still time for him to go to School. Unless your wife also works and supplements your income, I believe your savings will be less here compared to Myanmar. Also the inflation here is much more than there I believe.

And I think you will be having your Medical Insurance but not for your Family, and same for the yearly Airfare. So the decesion is yours. If you do decide to come, get in touch with me for your accomodation needs.

Cheers for now!!

Thank you so much for your valuable advice and more info. about company.

I am negotiating now, but they accept air fare for initial vist to kuwait only, still they not reply for Air fare once a year.

Lets see what they will reply. You are right, i also think the same savings might not more than what i am saving here.

Two things i am considering to move to kuwait, but still not finalized.

1. Culture and Developing city compare to Myanmar
2. Good Position

Could you give me the rough idea about Accomodation and Car Rental ?

How much rental 1bhk Furnished decent appartment (the company is in Dasman) preferably near by but safest area ?

Car rental how much per month ?

If i accept this offer, if there is a chance to come to kuwait, definitely i will contact you.

Hello again G. Balaji!

As I wrote in my earlier post, the rent for a 1 BHK Apartment unfurnished in most areas here ranges from 180 - 230 KD/Month. The Co. will surely provide you accommodation initially while they process your medical and Civil Id and later you can rent an Apartment of your own once your Residence is stamped and you get the Civil Id. I will advise you to get an unfurnished Apartment and then furnish it according to your liking and your family's when you bring them here later on. That way you can have the flexibility to egt what suits your & your family's needs rather than having a fully furnished Apartment in which many or some of the things you may have no use for. Also if you do decide to come, plan for a stay of at least 5 years so that you can make good use of the position you will get to have better terms in the future with your Co. as well as to explore and get to know Kuwait & its culture as good as you can.

The rent for Car also again varies from model to model and brand to brand. I would advise that you initially rent a medium sized car for your own travel & conveyance and by the time you are ready to bring your family here, buy a Car or Jeep either on cash or on instalments as per your convenience. Car rental varies from 90 - 150 KD/Month depending upon the model and brand and instalments are also more or less similar.

Insist on Co. provided and paid for Hotel accommodation until they fix your Residence and Civil Id (typically 2 months maximum), and also yearly Airfare and bonuses as per Co. policy. Happy Bargaining!!
