United Arab Emirates
Emigrating to The United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates consists of seven emirates, namely: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras al-Khaimah, Umm al-Qaiwain and Fujairah. Among our customers, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are by far the most popular areas to move to.
Why do people choose for Abu Dhabi or Dubai?
Expats especially go for the complete package. Many Dutch people are still quite vague and hesitant when hearing about Dubai and the UAE in general, but the country is extremely well developed and offers enormous opportunities for young families and particularly entrepreneurs.

10 reasons to move to the UAE
- Tax-free living and therefore very attractive for entrepreneurs or wealthy people;

To take into account...
Want to enter Dubai? Then you need a passport that's valid for at least six months. Staying in Dubai longer than one month? Then you must apply for this in advance. Additionally, you'll definitely need a work permit and residence visa.
There are five types of visas:
- Golden Visa; UAE Company Investor Visa
- Visa for real estate investors
- Retirement visa for the UAE
- UAE work visa
- Student visa for the UAE
Bring along many passport photos (minimum 10) because you need to submit a passport photo with many documents.
Renting a decent apartment in Dubai costs an average of € 2.000,- per month.
