Hi I am a Filipino and I will be moving in and working in Bahrain by October. I am interested to know the following and I hope my fellow kababayans would be willing to help me:
1. best and reasonable flat to stay (single room preferably with kitchen) is how much per month?
2. average per month cost of living
3. monthly rental for a car (if I would chose to rent and drive myself)
4. Is international driver's license originating from the Philippines is accepted there in Bahrain?
Your inputs and help will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
I will be moving in and working in Bahrain
