Hi All

My husband has had a job offer in Bahrain. We plan on moving in 4 - 6 weeks.

I am a qualified English teacher with 3 years post TEFL experience and was wondering what salary / benefits can I expect in Bahrain Question

Any help from someone who has Bahrain experience would be much appreciated Smile

Pax.

You'd be better off posting this on the Bahrain forum. It'd also make a change for something to be posted on there.

I think the problem you may have will be the visa issue - you'll be going under your husband's company sposorship and they may have an issue with you working.

Again - due to visa issues you may only be able to get part-time work, if you're British/Irish - try the British Council, there's also an American place in Juffair that might be able to give you something. As far as wages go - am not sure but around 12BD an hour maybe............

Private tuition might be a way around the work permit. I would say contact the BC and see what happens. I think 12 BD might be a bit high.

Thanks for the info Kaw and Scot

I probably will be going on my husband's sponsorship unless I am able to get a job before we move to Bahrain. I was however wondering, is it not possible to transfer the visa from my husband's to a work visa?

The salary range mentioned is for private tuitions?

What can I expect for a full time job in terms of basic salary, benefits etc.

What is the cost of living like in Bahrain?

Thx
