Why UAE, Why Dubai?
The UAE, particularly Dubai, consistently ranks as a top global destination for business, investment, and living. Its forward-thinking policies, strategic location, and business friendly environment make it an ideal choice for entrepreneurs, corporations, and expatriates alike.
Key Benefits of Doing Business and Living in Dubai
- Business-Friendly Regulatory Environment
Dubai offers 100% foreign ownership across many sectors, eliminating the need for local sponsors. Key regulatory authorities such as the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), and Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) facilitate sector-specific growth opportunities with simplified business formation processes.
- Tax Advantages
The UAE’s tax-friendly policies include:
- Zero corporate tax on income up to AED 375,000 (with 9% corporate tax above this threshold),
- No personal income tax,
- Zero capital gains tax,
- No withholding tax, making it one of the world’s most competitive jurisdictions for both individuals and corporations.
- Residency and Visa Opportunities
Dubai offers long-term residency options for investors, entrepreneurs, and skilled professionals, such as:
- The Golden Visa (5 or 10 years) for investors, entrepreneurs, and specialists,
- Investor and real estate-linked visas,
- Freelance and talent visas designed to attract global professionals in creative and technical industries.
- Safety and Quality of Life
Dubai is consistently ranked among the safest cities in the world, with low crime rates and a strong focus on public security.

- Dubai offers world-class healthcare, education, and a lifestyle tailored for families, with abundant parks, entertainment options, and international schools.
- Retirement Visa and Long-Term Residency Options
Dubai offers a five-year renewable retirement visa for expatriates aged 55 and above. To qualify for this visa, individuals must meet specific financial criteria, including:

- Combination: A combination of property and savings worth a total of at least AED 2 million.
Additionally, a valid health insurance policy is required.
Furthermore, the UAE offers a voluntary “Golden Pension Scheme” for private sector employees, designed to help increase retirement savings and facilitate employers’ end-of-service gratuity obligations. Employees can contribute monthly to this scheme, which provides competitive returns and transparent profit calculation.
Dubai’s new retirement and long-term residency programs make the emirate an attractive destination for both retirement and investment opportunities.
