Relocation Service in Dubai
From planning to settling in – personally guided into your new life in Dubai
Relocating to Dubai means far more than simply changing your place of residence.
Anyone moving their personal base to the United Arab Emirates has to make numerous personal, administrative and practical decisions within a relatively short period of time.
Residence Visa, Emirates ID, accommodation, bank account, health insurance, mobile services, driving licence, schools, government procedures and potentially company formation are just some of the areas that may need to be coordinated.
With the Dubai-Life Relocation Service, we help make your move to Dubai as structured, professional and comfortable as possible.
Depending on your individual situation, we can assist with specific steps or, together with our selected partners, coordinate your complete relocation process – from preparation before your move through to actually settling into life in Dubai.
Your Relocation Begins Before You Move
A well-organised relocation does not begin only after you arrive in Dubai.
Many important decisions can be prepared in advance.
Which type of residency do you require?
Should you establish your own company?
Which documents need to be prepared?
Which residential area best suits your lifestyle and daily requirements?
Do you require schools or childcare for your children?
Which banking, insurance and mobility solutions will you need?
The earlier these questions are considered together, the smoother the actual relocation process can be.
Our approach therefore begins with your personal situation – not with a standardised relocation package.
Residence Visa & Emirates ID
For many people, establishing themselves in Dubai on a longer-term basis begins with the appropriate Residence Visa, followed by the Emirates ID.
The right residency structure depends on your personal and professional circumstances.
Dubai-Life can help plan and coordinate the relevant steps with you – if required in connection with company formation, investment or other appropriate residency options.
Your Emirates ID then becomes an important foundation for many of the subsequent steps involved in establishing your life in the UAE.
Accommodation and the Right Location
Dubai offers a wide variety of residential areas and lifestyles.
Whether you prefer a central urban environment, want to live close to the sea, value privacy and tranquillity, or are looking for a family-oriented community with schools and convenient infrastructure, the right location depends heavily on your individual circumstances.
If required, we can assist you together with selected partners in understanding the property market and identifying a suitable residential solution.
We consider not only the property itself, but also factors such as location, daily travel, infrastructure and your personal requirements.
Banking
A functioning bank account is one of the essential components of establishing your new life in Dubai.
Depending on your circumstances, different requirements may apply to personal and business accounts.
Dubai-Life assists you with selecting suitable banking solutions, preparing the required documentation and navigating the account-opening process.
Where possible, banking is considered at an early stage of your overall relocation planning.
Health Insurance
Appropriate health insurance should also be considered at an early stage.
Different solutions may be suitable depending on your residency status, personal circumstances and desired level of coverage.
If required, we can help you understand the available options and coordinate contact with selected insurance and service partners to identify coverage appropriate to your circumstances in the UAE.
Mobile, Internet & Digital Services
After your arrival, mobile communications, internet access and various digital services are among the first practical matters to arrange.
Your Emirates ID frequently plays an important role in accessing these services.
We help you understand the necessary steps and integrate them efficiently into your overall relocation process.
Driving Licence & Mobility
Dubai is a geographically extensive city, and mobility plays an important role in everyday life.
Depending on your existing driving licence and individual circumstances, different procedures may apply when obtaining or converting to a UAE Driving Licence.
Questions concerning vehicles, leasing, car rental and other mobility solutions can also form part of your relocation.
Together with our partners, we can assist you in understanding and organising the relevant steps.
Families & Schools
Relocating to Dubai with your family involves additional considerations.
Alongside Residence Visas and Emirates IDs for family members, location, schools, nurseries, healthcare and daily travel can all play an important role.
Dubai offers a broad range of international educational options with different curricula and school concepts.
If required, we can help you understand the relevant options and coordinate the different aspects of your family relocation.
Company Formation & Business Setup
For entrepreneurs, relocation is often directly connected with establishing a business structure in Dubai.
In this case, we can combine your personal relocation with our Setup in Dubai services.
This may include:
Selection of the appropriate corporate structure and Free Zone or Mainland
Company formation
Business Activities and Trade Licence
Residence Visa
Emirates ID
Business bank account
Tax structuring in cooperation with qualified professional advisers
This allows your personal relocation and business establishment to be coordinated as efficiently as possible.
Tax Residency and International Relocation
Anyone moving their primary base to Dubai should also consider the potential tax implications of an international relocation.
Holding a Residence Visa and Emirates ID does not automatically mean that all tax obligations in a previous country of residence have ended.
Your residence, actual physical presence, economic interests, companies, property and personal connections may all be relevant.
Dubai-Life can coordinate the organisational aspects and, for complex international matters, involve qualified tax and legal professionals.
Coordinating Everything Through One Central Point
The greatest challenge of an international relocation is often not one individual procedure.
It is coordinating many different steps in the right sequence.
This is exactly where our Relocation Service focuses.
Depending on your requirements, we can coordinate areas including:
Residence Visa and Emirates ID
Company formation and Business Setup
Accommodation and property
Banking
Health insurance
Mobile and internet
Driving licence and mobility
Family and schools
Tax residency
Additional practical services for your new life in Dubai
You have one central point of contact who maintains an overview of the complete process and, where required, coordinates the appropriate specialists and partners.
Personal Guidance Instead of a Standard Package
No two relocations are the same.
An entrepreneur moving to Dubai alone while simultaneously establishing a company has different requirements from a family with children or an investor reorganising their international base.
We therefore begin by understanding your individual circumstances:
Why are you moving to Dubai?
Are you relocating alone or with your family?
Do you intend to establish a business here?
What type of accommodation and lifestyle are you looking for?
Which services will you require immediately after your arrival?
Which existing international structures do you intend to maintain?
Based on this information, we can develop an individual relocation plan with you.
