Guide to working in Dubai

May 27, 2011 by serah

Dubai might be one the real easy countries to relocate to, but the laws are different and  surely living there might not be as easy as you think. Here are a few tips to make your life in Dubai a smooth one.

Visa in Dubai

The Visa criteria to enter Dubai is different for different nationalities. Besides this the rules and regulations also keeps changing from time to time. The residency process is mostly easy for the people from the Western countries. The different ways to obtain a residence visa in the UAE are:

  • Sponsorship by employer
  • Family sponsorship
  • Residence through investment.

Please click here to visit The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai website for information about the visa.

Work in Dubai

Almost 90% of population in Dubai are expatriates working in different sectors. The expatriates come to work in Dubai for the following reasons:

  • Career Growth
  • A comfortable life
  • Luxurious Living
  • New career openings
  • To understand a new culture
  • Tax-free salary

But the benefits a tax free pay package has been ruled out by some nationalities because the Dirham is growing weak against other currencies, mainly the UK pound and the euro. Hence the pay packages are not that attractive as it used to be around five years ago, and the rent has been skyrocketing along with the steadily rising incomes. Anyway people stay because of the other benefits.

Getting a job in Dubai is not a cake walk these days. It is difficult as the competition is increasing in all the industries. There are still a lot of job opportunities in Dubai for the skilled professionals.
