Do I need many months rent in order to move into an apartment/villa?

Not necessary, it depends mainly on the lease terms and conditions, mostly you would have to provide dated adavnce cheques covering the rental period.

How much can I expect to pay in rent?

There are several factors affecting on that like how many bedrooms are you looking for, the location of the apartment, in a building or stand alone ... But for a decent 2 bedroom apartment you may consider OR 300+ as an approximate average.

Can I support a family with O.R. 1,000 per month? (will I live nice or like a poor person)

Well, this question is quite difficult to answer as it depends on your lifestyle, there are families in Oman who are living with much less than that. First you have to consider all of your major expenses like house, car rental, bills, etc; then see whether you would be able to live a good life with the rest or not.

Can I lease a car? If so, how much?

Yes of course, you can lease a car ... You may allow for OR160-180/Month for a car rental.

Is it true that wives cannot sponsor husbands and children for a Family visa?

I think its true, however not very sure about it.

Can I realistically move and know that my husband will find a job on his own (if I cannot sponsor him)?

Your husband can find a job on his own, but again this depends on his qualifications, experience and the market demands.

Is the salary taxed?

No ... Its tax free salary.

Hope other members can provide their insights in this regard so that you can have a better view on the subject.

Good Luck
