Please can these fees be elaborated with all the 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 driving licence need to be changed to Ajman as well as car registration? Have there been...

Thanks, From what I can read on this site, this visa is for overseas workers who want to spend time in Dubai and classed as a resident for 1 year at at time. Does not fulfil family sponsorship aspect. Still need to know the best solution for Dubai visa with family residency 3 years and not...

If you are travelling for business and or short trips to oversee your company etc then you have nothing to be concerned about. The responses made were for the threads related to Life in UAE as others had commented and I elaborated. I also enjoy frequenting the country. But to live and be there...

More Oil More money and even more expensive than Dubai. It has fewer properties and greater demand. You get a 2 bed average apartment within the greater city for the rental price of a large 4 bed Villa with garden in Sharjah. If you want a new Villa in Abi Dhabi then prices are higher and daily...

Hi, The reply from 'crsp' underlines the many complexities which affect offshore structures and banking. Your ethics and perspectives are never taken into account by authorities and banks.. Your structure covers many countries and seems simple in today's world.. Sadly not so straightforward as...

Banking for UAE based companies, especially Free-zone locations is not easy. Even with Transferwise. We operate a similar structure and I am aware that our nature of business and resident location in Europe has been the asset to ensuring the account does not face blockages or greater scrutiny...
