    @Fred @JackAlabama do any of you please have any viewpoints on the above exchanges? Also, Fred will you be in Dubai throughout July? I may need your assistance as I'm not happy with my local service provider.

Does anyone have experience with opening up a business account with any of these Dubai-based currency exchanges in order to receive payments? - Delma Exchange - Al Ghurair Exchange - Al Fardan Exchange - Al...

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    Thanks for taking me back to school. :) Learning something new everyday. Appreciate your insight. Received an initial assessment today. It's complicated and there is no clear answer. Things here are determined on a case by case basis. There are certain things that may constitute having close...

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    Another thing I didn't know. Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen this mentioned with the tax authorities, but good to know. Waiting to hear back from a lawyer on this. It seems to be an incredibly fuzzy area with no clear yes/no answers.

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    Agree. That's why I'll be leaving before I reach 183 days and all ties will be cut off. Thanks again.

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for sharing. I just had a look, and you're correct, there only seems to be a TIEA in place. So, all things being equal, avoid 183 days in Country A?

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    I read through the tax treaty, but it's surprisingly sparse on details. Essentially it just outlines the procedure for exchanging of information on request, possibility to deny a request and confidentiality clauses.

    How does the 183 day rule work?

    Moving to Dubai

    I think another good follow-up question that others may benefit, is practical tips on how to find an apartment. We've covered payment, and cash is to be preferred. What's the best way to go about finding a good place? Website like bayut, dubizzle, propertyfinder, or is through visiting a tower...

    Moving to Dubai

    I live in a "cashless" society, but I understand the UAE is different. Adjusting to new realities every day. So paying a year's rent in cash, is all good? Is this common? Any questions on where the cash comes from? And this by finding a place on Bayut or similar? Any negatives with paying cash...
