Erbil - Post Report Question and Answers

What are the particular advantages of living in this city?

The money. You can save a ton of money. - Apr 2018


Money! The financial benefits of this assignment are great (danger pay, differential, language pay, an additional differential for tenured employees or vast amounts of overtime for untenured employees, and a $52 a day benefit for food purchases). Enough to both put lots of money into savings and retirement AND to enjoy fantastic R&Rs. Foreign Service personnel assigned here for one year get 3 R&Rs that generally last 2-3 weeks each. - Feb 2016
