I am researching the following:

- setting up a Dubai free zone company, with visa and Emirates ID
- setting up a corporate bank account for the above entity
- purchasing an apartment or home in Dubai

Before I would make the last step I would like to get a personal bank account in The UAE. Does anyone have any experience of doing this without a fixed address in The UAE? And general experience of having a personal account in The UAE.
 
You can use the hotels' address for this.

A personal bank account in UAE is a must if you want to receive a tax certificate (usually after 6 months).

What freezone are you thinking about?

I am doing a lot of reading at the moment, but from what I am reading here it seems it those who incorporate outside Dubai, wish they had paid a little extra for a Dubai setup.

The main one that has caught my interest is Meydan Free Zone. Though I don't understand if I fit the criteria. I have an internet business where all the income is from advertising. I am not sure if that falls under the umbrella of the media free zone. The most detailed description I can find is: advertisement, marketing, and communication. My business activities would only involve me working from home. All my employees are in Eastern Europe.
 
If you wish, send me an email. My partner (lawyer/legal advisor) knows a lot about UAE zones, so I am pretty sure we could consult you about the best-fit options.

Ajman FZE could possibly be your choice.

You can open a personal account in 2 ways. Pay a large minimum deposit on a fixed term basis about 50K. This can be done as a non resident.

Get your Emirates ID via your visa and every bank will open you a savings account which is basically a current account without any facilities. No overdraft or cheque book.

You can do both without a UAE address you can use your current address.

You would be better to use Project Management liscence as it doesn't have a set industry and then it covers you for mostly all consulting roles or coordinating projects.

Employee, spouse, family and investor visa.

There are a few companies that are willing to make you an employee for about 2K a year. That way you can get an employee visa and take advantage of the benefits.

2k usd or uad?

how do I find such companies?

Who can tell me - how do I find such companies? What keywords should I look for in the internet?

Dubai fake employement - isn't it. And I don't want a fake illegal one, I want a fake but legal one, although not a *real* employement.

It's real employment. You are registered under the company and then your issued a visa which then allows you residency and ID card.

Ok.

My question also has been "how do I find such companies? What keywords should I look for in the internet?"

My goal is to get a legal employment document of any kind, which I then would use for opening a personal bank account and perhaps some other services. I don't need an actual job itself.

I know exactly what you want, contract, visa, Emirates ID which then gets you a bank account. This is not something that is advertised.

You can't know exactly what I want. The most close you can get is to speculate what I want in your opinion 🙂
