Please can these fees be elaborated with all the︀ extra e-channel fees to allow for a clearer overall cost element for this package.
If you are moving from Dubai Visa to Ajman, do all your documents such a driving︁ licence need to be changed to Ajman as well as car registration? Have there been︂ any imprivements in this aspect in recent times?
New EID will be issued after visa︃ so this is understood.
 
that's an‍ interesting part of the overall costs of a setup there!
 
They then own you.
They will extort you and if you complain cancel your visa and‍ you have 48 hours to get out the country.
If they want to be extra⁠ they can have you banned from the UAE for 10 years.
 
I hear you..you wouldn't want a random company/person to have that type of⁠ power over you. But I know people who have used friends who own companies sponsors⁤ their visas for a fee. Generally it comes out to $1000-1500/year. If you don't want⁣ a business account and are mainly interested in a residency visa, this could be an⁢ option.
 
I was just being sarcastic when I stated earlier well this package and‌ visa is only to live here. 😉 with no business activities whatsoever. How would you explain‍ to ESR requirements ? They will just take your ESR certification but I am sure⁠ they will get back to you someday and ask questions why are you doing this?⁤ Big question is when ? The key question is what benefit you are to us⁣ while living here without taxes etc except buying residence visa, companies etc ? I think⁢ that is the reason these ESR forms are being collected to see how many are︀ living like this. This is the reason I think someone needs to look into it︁ more before setting up for any future headaches.
 
Yes people are paying money to live here by showing a⁣ fake job from a company that renews their visas after every 2 years. I know⁢ a lot of forex traders are nowadays here from South Africa, Iran, Southeast Asia etc︀ to take advantage of banking and tax leniency. With this type of visa you can't︁ get too much money in here as you will be immediately tagged by Central bank︂ here.
 
Yes, a lot of guys use it as a way into⁣ UAE and then get themselves set up and then set up their own licences. Others⁢ do it simply for the ease of having a bank account and visa.

But I︀ have seen horror stories that you wouldn't believe. There are some evil people out there︁ buyer beware.
 
How would you explain ESR to a
yes you will find︀ a lot of companies still advertising it even partnership visas for 3 years for cheap.︁ Mainly they setup a company and dissappear after selling visas. This is their main scam︂ game.
 
ESR is the obligation of the company owner not the employee. So those⁠ that buy residency via employment are not required to do anything regarding ESR.
 
Yes. It makes no sense to save on cost with that. If Dubai or⁠ UAE is considered too expensive, then Paraguay, Georgia or Panama (very soon a thing of⁤ the past) are cheaper options to start out.
 
Yes I know dear but for those who are setting up a free zone⁠ company here and not doing any business in it at all but only using it⁤ for a bank account (considering that all free zones except Dubai, Jebel Ali are having⁣ problems now with a bank account ) and residence visa how would they explain ESR⁢ to officials here.? Sooner or later they will face this inquiry even if they live︀ here full time.
 
By living there full time you can justify⁢ the business purely on the fact you are there. You are conducting business even if︀ it's from your living room.

For those who are not there they will need to︁ employ someone for about $500 a month who handles enquiries and does some clerical work.︂

This is becoming common in my experience as some of my clients have even took︃ on a few members of staff at that rate. They even allow them to do︄ their own jobs as well which is billed by the company and they take the︅ whole amount as commission on top of their salary. Mostly IT guys in all fields.︆
 
I'm wondering if this can work in my case. I get a remote worker visa,‌ rent shoe box apartment for $15k AED for one year to get Ejari and DEWA‍ so that I can open local bank account and have a real address. Pay myself⁠ monthly salary of $5000 USD to UAE account and come to Dubai for 3 months⁤ before reapplying for a new remote worker visa. I'm from Balkans so not part of⁣ CRS and I don't think tax office is aggressive as in France/Germany. Would also have⁢ to figure out how to get some money out of Dubai back home.
 
My question︁ was what if you don't have a business in UAE nor do you want to︂ earn income from here. If one is purely living from offshore income and living here︃ in UAE full time with a rented apt and free zone how would you justify︄ ESR to the authorities that you are not earning a dime from that freezone as︅ all freezones have some specified activity and one needs to conduct business on that activity︆ or specified activities. My question still remains how to satisfy ESR requirements ?.
 
ESR is a problem in UAE and unfortunately people started︀ to receive a very high amount of penalties. The worst part is government ESR portal︁ is not working well and Freezone ESR departments are not capable of understand some cases︂ and this is resulting with fines.

If you have a doubt about your ESR situation︃ then go with Sole Establishment(DED license). ESR doesn’t applies to this license.
 
Several of my⁣ clients are having this issue. Their ESR applications are submitted already but nothing received from⁢ the portal for 6 months. They don't know the status of their application. They are︀ simply living here doing business outside UAE.
