Dubai salary query

[Caps44]

Hello.

I’ve been looking through threads to get an idea of what salary would be enough to move, but also save.

We are family of 3. DS would be starting year 2 in September.

DH is in a process and the offer is:

70k AED a month (this figure includes housing, car allowance), They will provide 30k AED a Year for school fees. They will also provide annual flights home, medical insurance, plus relocation assistance (I’m guessing 30k).

Reading some posts, people saying 65k including is not enough…and my numbers say otherwise.

Monthly Costs:

Rent for 2 bed apartment - 15k
School fees (in addition to the 30k annual help) - 5k
One car plus Utilities - 5k
Groceries, eating out - 15k
Misc - 5k

Am I missing something, as this would allow 25k to be saved.

I appreciate there will be no pension.

Many thanks.

Yes - I had a look at some London universities and yes, you can apply summer, after first year…to move to home student fee

Wow that’s potentially very helpful thank you

Can you share the links because everything I've seen says that determination of home fees is for the beginning of the course, and it does not change during the duration of the course (except in some very limited circumstances that are pretty rare and don't apply to people who are British citizens). Example here: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/tuition-fees/fee-status

I've never heard of anyone being able to switch status mid-course.

My mistake, it appears British Citizens are excluded from this.

They're not exactly excluded, it's just the type of people who can claim are those who have been resident for more than 3 years, but didn't qualify for other reasons (for example they didn't have settled status and get it during the course) and none of those are ever British Citizens. British Citizens automatically pass that test, so the only thing is the three years residence. Non-British have three years residence plus other tests.
