We are a family of 4 from Soth Africa.
My wife is offered AED 17k per month plus benefits. I do not yet know what the benefits entail. The entire process is merely in the beginning stages. The company will pay her relocation costs, but not for me or the kids.
What do I need to know is the easiest quetsion but here are a few more direct questions
Can a family of 4 live on a salary of about 17k.
What are the chances of employment for myself once I am relocated. I only have a senior certificate - am 44 - work in the movie industry - currently in film distribution yet have years of cinema manegement experiance.
Are there any form of Afrikaans schooling?
My children are 11 and 15 years of age. Grade 5 and 9. Do the children adapt quite easy - they are fluent in English.
I guess there are so much more questions, but this is where I will stop for now and work on researching living in dubai.
Thanks for now

Leon
Hi and welcome to the forum.

I would suggest that in the meantime, you read through the Dubai forum. Most of the information there is relevant and up todate to your situation.

Regards

Michelle
