Salary of a US nurse expat in Qatar or Middle East

Published

Hi,

I am interested to know how much is the salary of US nurses working in Middle East especially in Qatar. I knew already about no tax, free accommodation, bonus at end of year, free return airfare, US IRS taxation, and other perks but have no idea how much is the salary? I heard from co-workers that for nurses with years of experience could reach up to 10k (USD) per month. Seems its too good to be true. I already program myself that I will make a great deal of adjustments but am willing if the price is right! Thank you in advance for the information!

The recruiter I spoke with today said they aim to give you a 25% raise over what you currently make once you sign with Sidra, not sure if that includes living expenses. My interview is tomorrow, anyone know anybody that is working over there and how they like it? Seems like it would be a good change of pace for a year or two to make tax free $$ and pay off student loans...finally.

I am currently considering accepting an offer for a job in Qatar, but would like to know if anyone has experience with exit permits and multiple exi and entries into the country. Whats the point in living in a place and unable to travel out to visit places since it is so central.

I was curious if you ever did accept an offer for Qatar. I have been contacted by a recruiter for Sidra as well...would love an update !!

Sidra only hire US, Canadian and European licensed nurses. The hospital will open in 2 years. They will pay depending on your years of experience and currently what are you making in your present job. From $5-8K /month. The benefits are true to what they say but be careful to read your contract because they will change it during the last minute. Transportation/Driving is crazy and out of this world there. You need to do the whole process to obtain a DL there esp if you are from the USA. Just be careful and goodluck !!
