Relocating To Dubai

Every year, Dubai sees an overwhelming 200,000 plus surge in the numbers of its residents. Most of these newcomers relocate mostly for employment and business reasons. More often than not, the movers are abetted by their employers in taking up a suitable residence and accommodation.

But first things first. For getting entry to Dubai, you’ll need a visa if you’re not a national of one of the GCC countries. A visitor’s visa is usually granted without much hassle to a majority of nationalities. The validity of this visa is 60 days that can be extended up to 30 days for a nominal fee.

However, if you plan to move to Dubai on a permanent basis, you will require a residency visa. If your relocation is for employment purpose, your employer may sponsor your permanent visa. In other cases, your residency visa can be sponsored by any of your family members who stays in Dubai as a permanent resident. Another great option for the well-off ones is to purchase Dubai Property because property ownership will enable the proprietor to apply for the residency.

Another concern all the relocating people may have is the cost of living in Dubai. Being a Persian Gulf relocation hotspot, the cost of living in Dubai is still quite low as compared to its western European counterparts such as Bulgaria, Belize and France. Everything from housing, food, clothing, electronics, utilities, transportation etc is still within reach of the average earner in Dubai. So a decent lifestyle in Dubai has not yet become unattainable if not very cost-effective for most of the residents.
