United Arab Emirates (UAE) visa information

Before you prepare for your removal to the United Arab Emirates, you need to learn about the country you'll be moving to. The decision to move to the UAE can be a complex one, and shouldn't be taken lightly. There are a many different visa types for temporary and permanent residence in the UAE which you should investigate before moving.

This should not be considered emigration advice; visa information can and does change. For professional advice and the most current information, please contact the Emirates embassy for up-to-date and thorough information on visas and immigration rules.

A general guide to visas and work permits for the UAE may be found on the Living in Dubai website - which may be a very helpful resource should you decide to move to the UAE.

Rules for visas and working in the UAE

Once you have landed a job in the UAE, you will need to secure a residential permit. Once you have this permit, your employer can apply for a labour card which allows you to work in the UAE.

How are our appointments carried out

In the current times you might prefer that we don't visit your house in person to carry out a survey. This is fully understandable and we can just as easily undertake the survey by video call, using whatever method you're comfortable with, usually FaceTime or WhatsApp.

Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
The team were absolutely fantastic. They were polite and professional throughout and took the stress away from us on moving day. They took care of everything and even found our son’s Christmas elves which was a huge help and helped settle our son into our new house.

How would you rate our communication?
8/10

How can we improve our service?
Think there are a few things pre-move day that would help.

  • A general email to say what to expect, perhaps a video that shows what will happen. Moving house is stressful enough and this would’ve helped take the edge off.
  • A text message to confirm what time the team is arriving, potentially with the team member names included - we feel this would be a nice personalised touch.

BUT - on the actual day the team were brilliant and should be praised for their efforts.

Fantastic.  Tyler and the team (and there were many over the three days) were positive and professional throughout.  They dealt with a nervous buyer with great empathy and always tried to put me at ease.  They were enthusiastic, positive and professional.  Thank you so much.

Possibly with the quote acceptance online.  It was somewhat confusing.  However, when I phoned up with my queries, Catherine was amazing and sorted it all out for me.
