Hi All, I am moving to Bahrain from Dubai on account of a new job offer and need some advice.
Visas & Documents
1) I have heard that people with Shia sounding names don't get visas in Bahrain. I am not a Shia but have a distinctly shia sounding name
2) I would like to bring my maid from Dubai with me. Anyone have any idea about transferring maid visas to Bahrain from UAE?
3) I have a valid UAE driving licence. Can this be converted to a Bahrain licence?
Costs & Other
1) My son is likely to go to a school in the Adilya area as that is the only one we managed to get him into and my work place is in the industrial area down south of Bahrain. I was thinking of Adilya area but what is the commute like in the morning and at rush hours?
2) My salary excluding benefits is around 8,000 BD per month. Is this adequate for affording a 4 bedroom villa compound villa, 2 cars and still manage to save quite a bit?
Thanks
