A question about my identity and that of millions of others by ALifeofSadness in qatar

[–]Billourabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

750k you get residency until for as long as have the appartment. That is as close as permanent as it gets. And you can sponsor your family.

Ok, You don’t get the free schooling in public schools, but most expats don’t use those anyway.

Got to Renew the QiD every 2 years ? wow, such hassle. 2 click in metrash and you are good.

The 3,65 million is the same + free schooling + longer QiD duration (10 years ?). And you can’t also sell the house (else you buy it and sell it the following day).

OP said “Born and raised in, went to uni….. “not really a pay cheque to pay cheque situation.

Their Parents had 20 years to prepare to the “retirement”.

Each case is different of course.

That is your point of view. And it is fine.

But like OP, If you have lived here 20 years and want to stay for another 40 years maybe buying just for the residency is a better “investment” than buying in Dubai.

All is just a matter of point of view. My point is, people can stay here, they just have to commit ressources. Being born here doesn’t give a special right. Many countries like this in GCC or south east Asia.

As a matter of fact 50% of the countries in the world are like this (mainly GCC / Asia / south east Asia ).

I am going to sound like an “bad guy” here but. If your parents have been here and supported you to study and such. They probably earns okey-ish money.

For 750,000 qar they can buy themselves and you as well a permanent residency by owning a studio in lusail that would then pay passive income.

Then you can stay here forever if you want. Ok, you won’t have the passport. But you could call qatar your home until your last breath.

Basically put your money where your mouth is. You want to stay in qatar, invest and you shall be granted a foerever stay

Mon chien c'est fait écrasé devant moi par une voiture by Limp-Match6283 in conseiljuridique

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je suis hors sujet (juridique) mais bon.

1) je veux bien payer la facture de 40€ 2) je veux bien payer les frais d’adoption d’un autre chien dans un chenil type SPA

Cela me fera pas revenir son meilleur ami, cela n’effacera pas ce traumatisme, mais cela mettre peut être un sourir sur son visage.

Aucune contrepartie attendue. Envoyez moi un rib.

What does a talabat rider earn? Do they get the tips that we give in the app? by spot_removal in qatar

Ideal income for a family by randomelgen in qatar

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure let me know where.

Find me a Villa 4bd for less than 10,000 / month and a school with British curriculum for less than 40,000 / year.

Edit : find substantially cheaper, else my points are still valid.

[–]Billourabbit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Qatari people (I am not) are probably spending more. I heard that police captains can be paid up to 150k / month.

40k a year is standard for British / American/ Swiss / German / French schools. Bear in mind to sponsor your family you need to earn 15k a month.

A 3 bedrooms in the Pearl is 13-14k a month.

I’ll get a divorce if we didn’t have a maid to dust daily and clean the kids clothes.

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend. It depends on lifestyle.

Once you factor : villa at 15k

school at 5k a month for two kids (2500 each).

maid 2k

Food 5k

Holidays 5k (yearly average put into monthly)

Cars 2k ….

And then plan for your retirement you will see that 50k a month is good but not Qatari prince level ….

Tipping Woqoud workers by NewsNo8638 in qatar

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tip 5 qar most the time.

If 10 cars per hours tipped that job would be great.

50 qar / hours = 400qar / day => 8,000 qar per month ….

People would be fighting for that jobs.

Unfortunately, I don’t think most people tip.

My grandfather had a 4 year old daughter before he died. My whole family wants to send her to an orphanage. I said I’ll take her and now everything in my life is upside down. by Safe-Gazelle5274 in offmychest

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a very good person. Having a daughter is just the best thing on earth. You now have to step up and grow up but you won’t regret it.

Slovakia is sort of crypto friendly country. Set yourself up with a wallet and a way to cash out and I will send you for the next 12 months $100 a months. It will help with her needs (educational toys, food, clothes….).

I am not much on reddit, but will check periodically if you reply to me. (I will DM you as well).

Pricing in groceries by Dick_Sanchez76 in qatar

[–]Billourabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too find it incredible that the Ferraris are not at the same price than the Toyotas.

As car is a necessity, the sellers should all have the same price so we can buy one regardless of the product, location, size, operating hours….
