Dual H... unless you have some reason that qualifies you for other than a tourist visa you cannot just move here.

Well, I guess you can... you can rent property. You will have to leave the country every six months (180 day max stay on a tourist visa). You will have to live with the uncertainty as to whether the Indian government will let you do this indefinitely.

Visa issues aside,

-schools, many private, including some following western educational systems. No idea of fees at those, though. Fees at the 'normal' private schools should not be more than 30k a year maximum, and that too for higher classes in the more expensive schools.

-rentals: suggest a visit to indiaproperties.com or 99acres.com, you can choose your options for rent and get a rough idea. Should warn you that Hyderabad realtors are not half as organised as those in other Indian cities , so legwork is required. If you give an idea of budget and/or your work location, maybe I can suggest some areas you could look at.

-Cost of living: Close to that of any major city in India, though rentals are cheaper. The rest, depends on your lifestyle.

Thanks everyone.

Nick. My wife and I are both applying admission to one of the colleges in there and I hope that will qualify to get a Visa as long as we go to school.

Capt... you said 30K per year, I hope you mean Indian Rubees.

I will go to Hyd end of April or early May and will update you guys when I get there.

You should be fine to get the student visas, then ---as long ast the college is government-approved.

Best of luck with the admission

--- Look forward to your updates, a lot of people are interested in studying in India.

Dual H, yes, Indian rupees.

Some expats prefer the international schools I mentioned. ( more expensive, though) Facilities and the kind of education in many Indian schools, including the private ones, are often disappointing. I presume you will check out some schools too, during your trip.
