FAQ
Welche Visa-Optionen gibt es für einen Umzug nach Dubai?
There are various visa options, including the employment visa (through employment), the investor visa (by purchasing property from 750,000 AED), and the company formation visa (by setting up a business in a freezone). A retirement visa is also possible if certain conditions are met.
Wie viel kostet die Gründung eines Unternehmens in einer Freezone in Dubai?

Do I need health insurance in Dubai?
Yes, private health insurance is essential in Dubai as there is no social security agreement between Germany and the UAE. The costs are around €150-€350 per month.
How do I find accommodation in Dubai?
You can rent or buy an apartment. Keep in mind that rent is often paid annually in advance. A real estate agent can assist you in your search.
Do I need to convert my driving licence?
