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

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

  • Expatriates make up the majority of the population, and the city provides a multi-cultural, inclusive environment, respecting all religious beliefs and cultural backgrounds.
  • Dubai offers world-class healthcare, education, and a lifestyle tailored for families, with abundant parks, entertainment options, and international schools.

 

  1. 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:

 

  • Property Ownership: Owning property in Dubai worth at least AED 1 million (approximately USD 275,000).
  • Savings: Having cash savings of at least AED 1 million.
  • Monthly Income: Earning a monthly income of at least AED 20,000 (approximately USD 5,500).
  • 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.

 

  1. Strategic Location and Market Access

Located at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Dubai provides access to over 3 billion consumers. Its state-of-the-art logistics infrastructure, including ports and airports, makes it a hub for international trade and commerce.

 

  1. Sector-Specific Opportunities

Dubai’s diversified economy offers potential for growth in:

  • Technology and Blockchain: The UAE’s proactive stance on blockchain technology makes it an attractive hub for fintech startups.
  • Real Estate and Construction: Landmark projects and Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan create investment opportunities in real estate.
  • Tourism and Hospitality: Dubai’s status as a top tourist destination, with luxury experiences and iconic landmarks, drives its hospitality sector forward.

 

  1. Advanced Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Regulations

Dubai is a global leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation, supported by Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The UAE’s clear regulatory framework for virtual assets and blockchain businesses provides an ideal environment for tech entrepreneurs and investors in the Web3 space.

 

  1. Strong Trade Relations with Turkiye

The UAE and Turkiye’s bilateral trade volume surpassed USD 17.7 billion, with opportunities in sectors such as precious metals, textiles, and automotive. Major trade events like Gulfood, The Big 5, and Arab Health offer pathways for businesses to enter and expand in the region.
