Thanks Sumitran sir

Is it a normal process to sign the contract after arriving at muscat. I was thinking if the offer has some discrepancies and the employer doesn't agree with me, what can i do. I would be left with no other options.

Also it will be very helpful if you can provide cost of food per month for a bachelor eating outside 3 times in an Indian restaurant/catering. I hope there will be many Indian catering services.

Thanks

Hi Senthil2015,

Make sure you receive your offer letter prior to even signing your employment contract.

In the offer letter, make all the required changes and amendments and then the same would have to be transferred on to the employment contract.

Now, both these important documents would have to be seen, reviewed, agreed upon and signed by you, as well as by an authorised signatory from your employer's side before you even land here in Oman. There is no point in discussing the terms of your employment after you have agreed and the employment visa issued in your name. The concerns which you have raised is absolutely correct.

Read the numerous posts in the forum on the food costs. Indian / South-Indian food is no problem at all anywhere across Oman, given the vast numbers of Indian expats living here.

For a month, if you were to eat outside, you should be spending around R.O. 50/- to R.O. 75/-, for 3-meals a day.
