Throughout the COVID pandemic, and subsequent lockdowns, most of us witnessed the rich and famous share their Dubai moments on social media, but Dubai (and the UAE) aren’t just for the likes of Instagram influencers, virtually anyone can move to the UAE.
And there are some really awesome reasons for moving there (besides the year long summer sunshine).
You can discover more, right here…
1. Dubai is a Tax Haven
In fact, where ever you live or work in the UAE, your earnings will be tax free!
That’s equivalent to gaining an extra 25% on your income in your bank, every pay day.
That’s not all though…
There is no tax on food, drink and other goods so your money goes much further and it seems comparatively cheap compared to the UK.
The only problem you’ll have is restraining your wallet/purse when visiting the giant shopping malls!
2. Professional Prospects
Living and working in Dubai is a great way to fast-track your career due to the unique and varied professional prospects within the UAE.
Dubai is home to over 30 free trade zones which offer tax concessions and other benefits to overseas investors with each zone linked to a specific industry (or industries) which are managed by the relevant authority.
These free trade zones are thriving economies and have helped create a global hub for enterprise, commerce and innovation.
English-speaking employees are always in demand to support and evolve business opportunities.
3. Dubai is a Multi-cultural Metropolis
The UAE is famed for its cities (just picture Dubai and the Burj Khalif – the world’s tallest tower and its most iconic landmark) so people venture from all around the world to live and work here.
According to recent statistics, the population of the UAE has grown by more than 6million people over the last decade, with the majority of the population being non-Emirati, giving the UAE the world’s highest net migration rate.
Cities, such as, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are multi-cultural meccas which mingle ultra-modern city life with beaches, mountains, and history.
There really is something for everyone!
4. Top Global and Local Infrastructure
Because the UAE has seen such rapid development in virtually every aspect from business to population growth, it meant a first-class infrastructure was required to support and facilitate this.
Exceptional planning went into creating country-wide infrastructure which enables connections with every destination in the world and the other Emirates.
Technology has played a large part in this planning including the world’s largest solar plant, state-of-the-art hotels, international airports and amazing shopping malls!
5. Safe and Sound
We’ve all heard stories circulated in mass-media about the UAE which highlight archaic, restrictive laws but the reality is that many of these laws actually make the UAE one of the safest places to live.
Much of the crime centred around Dubai is of the white-collar kind and over 40% of the population in Dubai Central Prison are there due to non-payment of debts.
The UAE is not as restrictive as you might expect; you can still drink alcohol, wear the clothes you want, or have a relationship but you must respect the rules, especially those resulting from Islamic law.
Dubai is a beautiful place to live and offers a standard of living that is hard to match, meaning expats often stay for longer than originally intended.
With food from every corner of the globe, summer every day, a stable economy, massive support for expats and much business conducted in English, there really is every reason to move to Dubai, and stay there!
