On the islands - nothing. The land and the sea can support down to earth life without any great difficulties. Even the tobacco and the alcohol can be home-made. And in the cities? Lots! For more than 30 % of the population, life in the cities did become an every day struggle to learn - how to live with 200 euro per week when at least 300 euro p/w is needed. PS. If you like to live in the Ghettos together with poor Albanians and black refugees, than yes - the Air-hole estimates will be correct.

A modest apartment in a non expensive neighborhood will be about 350 €. Electricity, phone and water supply should be another 100-150 €. Food will be about 20 € per day. Other expenses another 200€ ? Since you are coming with a working permit it means that you have already found a job and most likely it must be highly paid in some special field. That in turn means that you can afford the above expenses. If that is not the case, then good luck to you.

the prices that Airpole gave are almost true with 350 in a downgraded area you can also find a big house, with that amount you can find in a mediocre area a 1bedroom apartment. In the rent money you got to add at least 50 euros for condo fees (during summer) and that price goes up during winter for heating too(that price depends from the price of petrolium and it's not fixed). 20 euros per day for food is reasonable if you eat out every day, if you eat at home that price goes down extremely much. If you will use a car, have in mind that you will need about 50-60 euros every week for gas.

It depends on the place.But in general i would say Food:7-10 euros per day,if you choose to cook or eating cheap food. Accommodation:From 300-350 euro in a decent but not expensive area + 100 euros for water,phone,electricity etc. Other expenditures:From 70 euros per month. Total:Around 700 euros.
