Hi,

1. How long and was it hard to get an work visa ?
If you meant how long will it take for a work visa to be issued usually 7-10 working days, but we have seen in some unforeseen circumstances that it has gone beyond a month as well.

3. Cost of living ?
The below mentioned links should give you an idea about the cost of living
