Moving to the UAE for residency or employment?
Not a bad idea. Considering its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is among the highest in the world and there is no personal tax for residents. It also offers one of the best living standards and health care system in the world.
The UAE has always had an open and positive attitude to recruiting overseas workers, who mainly come from the rest of the Arab world, Asia, Europe and North America.
The links below outline the paper work involved, rules, regulations, basic requirements that will help you move into the UAE.
Note: The following are not only subject to change but apply only to Dubai. Other emirates share many rules and regulations, but there are some differences, which you can find out at the UAE Embassy or Consulate nearest to you.
