After acquiring Portuguese Passport, where in Europe would you like to go ?
It is understood that over 18,000 applications pending for Portuguese Passport with Goa Portuguese Consulate. We all leave our beautiful Goa for better life or for more money. Before we leave, the following info might help us to understand a bit. Table showing Minimum pay per Country (Europe) Country Rate per Rate per Rate per Wages per (Europe) Hr EUROS Hr in Rs. day in Rs. Month Rs. Luxembourg 8.69 Rs.487 Rs. 3,893 Rs.85,654 France 8.03 450 3,597 79,134 Netherlands 7.96 446 3,566 78,452 Ireland 7.65 428 3,427 75,394 Belgium 7.48 419 3,351 73,722 Britain 7.36 412 3,297 72,534 Greece 3.86 216 1,729 Rs.38,038 Spain 3.78 212 1,693 37,242 Malta 3.35 188 1,501 33,022 Slovenia 3.03 170 1,357 29,854 Portugal 2.62 147 1,174 25,828 Czech Repub 1.58 88 708 15,576 Poland 1.35 76 605 13,310 Hungary 1.32 74 591 13,002 Slovakia 1.00 56 448 9,856 Estonia 0.99 55 446 9,812 Lithuania 0.92 52 412 9,064 Latvia 0.67 38 300 6,600 Romania 0.52 29 233 5,126 Bulgaria 0.47 26 211 4,642 Goa (Daily wages Men) 18.75 150 Rs. 3,900 USA 4.25 238 1,904 Rs.41,888 Where will you go now ? Obviously, the answer would be 'inglend' or 'london' or 'swidon'. So bearing this in mind, I have given you some more tips below, Why we would prefer England or London? -Pay is amongst the top 5 European countries. -Knowledge of 'lettfett' i.e. English be it 'red' or 'queens' whatever it is 'kator re bhaji' and that's how you learn anyway. But Hindi/Punjabi also widely in used amongst the Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis etc -Friends and family. -Cheap charter flights etc etc Monthly wages arrived at by taking 22 working days a month i.e. 5 days a week. Any OT etc monthly wages will be higher. EUROS Current Exchange Rate: Rs.55.95. UK has not yet given up its British Sterling Pound Currency. Although it is said minimum wage, there are many who works below the minimum wages e.g. UK Minimum wage is say Rs.412/hour but there are many who works for less than Rs.225/hr. (mainly illegal immigrants) The gross wages what you see in the last column is NOT the wages what you will actually get in hand after end of the month. It will be given to you or sent in your bank ONLY after deduction of Income Taxes/ National insurance etc and this can be up to 25% of you monthly wages. Again, once you get your net wages, you will have to provide for your room/flat/house rent/Mortgage. A small room rent is roughly Rs.18,000/month medium/large room about Rs.25,000/month or a flat Rs.40,000/month or 3 bed house Rs.80,000/month. Most people say in Swindon etc (UK), give the whole 3bed house on rent for a group people say up to 15 (sleeping on floors) in which case one may have to pay just Rs.6000/month but this practice is against the local council laws. Above 'Minimum wage in Europe' in EUROS only appeared on H-except Goa (January 2006 figures from WSI Foundation, Eurastat) and all other columns in Rs. Worked out by JoeGoaUk and not by computer etc so there could be some errors. Need any other help, please do not hesitate to contact me. Note: Sorry, I don't usually reply to those who ask my personal help like providing accommodation or any queries on immigration from those who coming on visitors visa.
