    Hi Padeep

    Does this salary include all ur allowances?
    Turaif is near Arar. And I live in Arar. Accomodatiin u will easily find 1200 sr per month. Transportation in small cities is maximum 500 SR per month. food/ grocery/ internet/ electric/ gas cylinder maximum 1500 for u and ur wife together.
    I think the salary u r offered is good.
    However do ask them if they can increase.
    If 8600 is excluding allownces I would highly recommend u to accept it.
    Ur company may gv u family visa. Ask them
    However in Turaif there arent any good schools.
    It gets extremly cold in winters. can go to -3 and in summers 50. So it has extremes.
    Its a small city.

    Hi, pradeep.

    2BHK flat will cost you around 26000 SAR per annum & minimum 600 SAR per month per person food.
    transportation will cost 1000 SAR.
    if you want to bring your wife than 2000 sar one time fees for family visa application.
    dependent monthly fees (wife) 100 sar per month.
    there is rumoring around from 1st Jan 2018 there are imposing 5% VAT on everything.

    I want to to say 8600 sar is simply not enough you should ask them for 12000 sar.

    Best of luck.
