Hiii,

You have been offered a similar package(450+100 HRA) to what I have been offered as well. My Visa is in process and I shall be moving to Bahrain in this november.  I am also looking for places where I can get accommodation my budget.

In case you missed it, Logical Indian posted up this here.  Be sure to check sticky posts as they have a lot of information about costs, where to live, and everything the incoming expat needs to know.

Best of luck!

s8rohit,

if you asking suggestions on where to live, i would recommend that you come down and then search for a place which is close by to work. Your colleagues can give your valuable inputs on the same.

good luck!

My workplace shall be  at Salmabad..... can you give me fair idea of what shall be tentative rent for a studio apartment close to this area.... and suggest the area as well.... I understand that when i shall be coming down then only i shall be able to get an exact idea.... I am just asking to understand my Income to expense ratio.. nothing else... Thank you very much!!

Hi S8rohit,

Thanks for the info, Can you let me know rough estimate on when your employer started visa processing.
How long does is take and what's the next step.
As i will be joining in December, my employer told me they will start the visa process in November.
Also did they offered you initial accommodation until you find your own place..??

s8rohit,

i would not be able to give you the exacts, salmabad is more of commercial area isa town, tubli, a'ali are surrounding areas. I really would not know the exact rent info because it will depend on lot of factors, but im guessing for a single bedroom around 150-200 would be a rough figure or even less.

My employer started my visa process on 1st of October after i submitted my medical test reports. Still the visa in process and it shall be completed by this weekend hopefully. He did mention that since we hold an Indian visa it take relatively more time. No he has not offered me accommodation but shall assist me to get one. Which area would be your work place??

Have you tried sites like expatriates.com and www.bahrainpropertyworld.com to see if you can at least get an idea of what you'll get?

I think it best to be here to actually see the apartment before making any commitments - but hopefully your employer will take care of you until you do find a place.  Best of luck!
