Living expenses in Goa

Andreas · Jun 28th, 2004, 22:18

G'day one and all!

I have almost managed to find myself a new flat in Goa and I was wondering how much the living expenses per month would be there (food, transport etc). I only know by my own experience when I was there on holiday, though very difficult to estimate this by one time experience only.

Anyone who could give me some info?

Only you could really know this,,,,,,,,,,,,
If you've got access to loads of money you'll spend loads,
If you're budget is tight you'll spend accordingly,
If you've got nothing, then you'll still survive, but you might have to beg, for a meal now and again,,,,,,,

Been there done It,,,,,,,,, and survived

Well, this is the problem actuall!. I won't be going without money of course, but I am only trying to calculate to see how much it will be estimatedly.

Such as 5 000 RS, 10 000 or 100 RS? I won't be spending loads of money, will only try to live as fair as possible (that sounds wrong?), but you know what I mean, don't you?

Ummmmmm, A guesstimate would be for an average spend, apart from accomadation, of a stab in the dark spend of:
300 - 500 Rp per day, depending on your extravaganses.
Could be spot on, could be way out

Hi all, just found you!

I went to Goa 3 years ago and I'm looking to stay longer.........
Andreas are you still around?
I'm also looking to price a few things up to get an idea.
Also, does anyone know about becoming resident there? How much do$h you must show, banking procedure, money transfers etc?
That'll do for now

Thanks

I calculate on month rather than day
So I'll allow you to do the math

I woudl count on £200 for average living some beers food
For more extravagent perhps £300

Put it this way me my partner and son lived on £300 a month
Hope that gives you some indication

Cheers

Thanks, I was thinking along those lines,ie £2.5 to £3.5 pa.
I normally work on the Beer Index

How much is a beer in the shops and in an average bar?

Beer in Goa is the cheapest in india
I think a large kingfisher was 50Rs a small kings (the best) 25 if i remember right
The exchange rate was 72rs at the time ...Nice

The rum is good and cheap also...Enjoy

Actually I think the Kings were 15-20 and the Kingfisher 35-40 Its all a haze now

Beer is much more expensive in the rest of India except in Pondi ...something to do with different state taxes

Nice.......gives me something to work on.
After today it looks more likely I'm heading out to stay.
Need some advice with regard to residency
