Does that mean that you do not need a yearly rental as long as you:

1) have a company in the UAE who employed you and
2) you stay 90 days or more even in hotel or Airbnb doing short term?

I mean, under the 2 conditions above + valid VISA, do you get the tax residence certificate?

Best wishes,

Thank you for your response.

I have the following question:

Is there any requeriment for the duration of the lease? It says lease agreement but it does not specify any duration of the lease agreement. Can it be for only one month or do we need 1 year lease agreement?
I am asking that because in the article 4 of decision cabinet 85, it says “any of those” which, overall may be understood as that a yearly lease agreement is not necessary.

Thanks and best wishes

Correct, yearly is not necessary but the minimum is not known. I guess there is no minimum as one can submit an Ejari thats only valid another month.

You have no idea how the situation is on the ground.
A golden rule I learned in UAE, always ask same question to different people to get accurate info.

this is (as UAE resident) what I do as well, but I don't get the same result as you...I just receive multiple different answers.. (even from lawyers and accounting firms) , so at the end it's worst 🙂

yup my issue too, If you ask 5 people the same thing you get 8 different answers, even if its supposedly reputated ones (like lawyers etc).

There is so much posted about the tax regulations in the UAE already that it's obvious no one really know how to comply to satisfaction of the government.

Here is another thread which confirms what you just said above
