How to Become a Resident in UAE

The United Arab Emirates are prosperous, offering good opportunities for foreigners to combine pursuing a career with a high standard of living. In fact, some 84% of the people living in the UAE, by some estimation, originate from outside of the Emirates. With rich natural resources and an international aviation hub in the Emirate of Dubai, there are plenty of reasons for expats to make the UAE their home.

Many foreign citizens are interested in coming and applying for residency in Dubai. In order to obtain a Dubai residence or work permit, one must have a local sponsor who is subject to certain criteria.

Residence visa can be acquired:

1. By purchasing a property,
2. By obtaining employment with a Dubai company.
3. By opening a company in Dubai.
