We’ve Got You! 🇦🇪 ## 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](https://www.shuraa.com/nl/growth-and-development-dubai-uae/) and offers enormous opportunities for young families and particularly entrepreneurs. ![Moving to United Arab Emirates](https://halo-logistics.nl/content/uploads/2024/04/Verenigde-Arabische-Emiraten.jpg "Verenigde Arabische Emiraten 1") ## 10 reasons to move to the UAE - Tax-free living and therefore very attractive for entrepreneurs or wealthy people; - The minimum temperature doesn't drop below 15 degrees and you get 8-10 hours of sun per day; - Extremely high quality of life, the UAE ranks number 6 in the top 10 best countries to live in according to the Internations Expat Centre report; - One of the fastest growing economic regions in the world; - Extremely low crime rate; - Everything seems possible in Dubai.

The United Arab Emirates are a completely different world. The entire moving process also takes much more time than an [emigration within the EU](https://halo-logistics.nl/en/moving-within-europe/ "emigration within the EU") , let alone a move within the Netherlands.

What are you currently struggling with? Are you nervous, do you not know what to arrange? We are happy to relieve you. [Feel free to ask your questions to one of our advisors](https://halo-logistics.nl/en/contact/ "contact") or read on for some extra tips. ## To take into account... Want to enter Dubai?

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. ![Moving to United Arab Emirates](https://halo-logistics.nl/content/uploads/2024/04/AdobeStock_235352983-scaled.jpeg "Verenigde Arabische Emiraten 3") ## Are you ready for a new life?
