Hello All, I am moving to Abu Dhabi with family. Wanted to ask couple of things.?

1) Is 25,000 (all inclusive) a good salary. 2) how much a 2b/r apt costs and where can i find the best deal. 3) what is the best way to communicate and the best deal on mobile and landline for mainly calling back to india/pakistan. 4) how much money is required to simply furnish an apt and where can i find the shops. 5) any easy way to get a driving license in minimum possible time and effort. 6) the apt advance is all paid in cash or some in cash and some through post dated cheques. 6) is there any property that i can lease instead of paying rental. 7) what is the reasonable medical policy and hospital in abu dhabi. 8) how much time is generally required after entrance in abu dhabi to sponsor your family. I know i have asked many questions but if any one of you have answers to any of the above, please help me. Thanks and regards, Faisal.

1. Dhs 25.000 is a good salary
2. I never heard about best deals on apartments. They are all expensive
3. Abu Dhabi only has one Telephone provider: Etisalat
4. Depends on you. You'll find furniture stores all over. For cheap furniture I recomend IKEA in Marina Mall or Royal furniture beside the Mina Shopping mall. You also could check out the classifieds in the daily paper under: Expats leaving for used furniture.
5. Not for Indians and Pakistanis. You can not convert your drivers license intoa UAE license and Indian International driver's permits are not accepted.You'll have to attend driving classes and make the test.
6. Depeds on the landlord. Please note that you can only open a bank account after you received your residence visa.
7. No
8. In Abu Dhabi it is mandatory that your company provides healthcare for the employee and up to three kids under the age of 18 years.The medical care on your health care provider's network and the medication bought in pharmacies under this netwerk is free.
9. As soon as you received your residence visa.
