Question by michanoz: May I know how much is the salary for a graphic designer in Oman. Is ,300 (USD) a good offer?
Is it possible for me to send remittances for my family in the Philippines after paying Transportation, Housing, Food, and other basic expenses?

I appreciate your prompt reply. Thanks!

US$ 1300 roughly translates to OR450 which is NOT a very big salary to live in Oman.

A room in a shared apartment will cost you about OR100 per month. Add OR100 for your food. Transportation in Oman is rather expensive simply because the distances between places are huge. So, add another OR100 to your expenses for transport. If you keep OR50 for any other personal expenses, you’ll be able to save only about OR100 or US$ 300.

US$ 300 translates to aboout 15,000 Philippine Pisos. If you feel your family back home can live on that amount comfortably…go ahead.
