No, you don’t. To maintain UAE tax residency, you only need to spend one day in the country every 180 days. That means you can live full-time in Dubai, or just visit twice a year while spending the rest of your time in Bali, Europe, Thailand, or wherever else you want. As long as you meet the minimum presence requirement and avoid becoming a tax resident elsewhere, you can legally keep your 0% tax status.

Yes - it’s 100% legal. The UAE’s tax system is designed to attract business owners and investors.

You’re not evading taxes, you’re relocating to a country that doesn’t charge personal income tax, dividend tax, or capital gains tax.

Thousands of entrepreneurs have already made the move, and this course shows you exactly how to do it the right way, step-by-step and fully compliant.

You can be fully set up in 7-14 business days.

That includes forming your company, opening a business bank account, and completing your residency visa process (if you choose to get one).

Many Free Zones allow for remote setup, so you don’t even need to fly in unless your visa requires a quick medical test, which takes just 2–3 days.

This setup works best if you’re running an online or service-based business - like a marketing agency, coaching/consulting business, eCommerce store, dropshipping, SaaS, freelancing, remote work, trading, or any digital-first model.

As long as your income comes from clients or customers outside the UAE, and you’re not selling physical goods within Dubai, you're good to go.

The average setup cost is between $3,000 to $9,000 USD, depending on which Free Zone you choose and whether you add a visa or not. This includes company registration, license fees, visa costs, and bank account opening.

The course comes with a Business Setup Cost Estimator so you can calculate your exact upfront investment and avoid any hidden surprises.

Yes. Most Free Zones support UAE-based Stripe and PayPal accounts once your trade license and Emirates ID are ready.

If your zone doesn’t support these platforms directly, you can still use your existing UK, US, or EU-based payment accounts and legally transfer the money to your UAE business account using services like Wise or via SWIFT. Everything is legal and fully traceable.

We also have connections for other great processors some which work exclusively with us, and some that we've used for years which are proven to be great!

That depends on how you handle your tax exit. If you're from the UK, Canada, or Australia, you’ll need to properly sever tax ties- by submitting official forms, stopping the use of local accounts, and avoiding too much physical presence each year.

The course walks you through this in detail with country-specific exit checklists.

For US citizens, you’ll still need to file annually - but you can use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) to reduce or eliminate your tax bill.

A Free Zone company is usually the best option for online businesses.

It’s 100% foreign-owned, easier to set up, and doesn’t require a local sponsor or office.

Mainland companies are for those who want to trade directly with UAE businesses or government contracts, but they require more paperwork, cost more to maintain, and usually involve more regulation.

For 99% of entrepreneurs, a Free Zone setup is faster, cheaper, and more flexible.

Yes. Once your company is registered and you’ve secured your visa, you can sponsor your immediate family for UAE residency too.

This includes your spouse and children, giving them access to schools, healthcare, and long-term residence.

The process is straightforward and covered step-by-step inside the course.

If you're outside of the UAE for longer than 180 days, your residency visa may be cancelled.

That means you'd need to reapply if you wanted to keep your tax residency. To avoid this, just make sure to enter the country at least once every 6 months. It can be a short trip even a weekend counts.

We recommend setting calendar reminders to make sure you stay compliant.

Yes! it's excellent. Dubai offers world-class private healthcare with modern hospitals, short wait times, and English-speaking staff.

Health insurance is required for residents, and policies are surprisingly affordable, starting from around AED 2,000 per year (roughly $545 USD).

You can choose global providers like Bupa, AXA, or Cigna for international coverage as well.

Not when you factor in 0% tax.

While rent and lifestyle costs can vary, most people find Dubai cheaper than cities like London, Sydney, or Toronto once you stop giving away 40–50% of your income to taxes.

Plus, the standard of living is higher:

You get sunshine every day, luxury amenities, fast internet, and cleaner, safer neighbourhoods.

No. English is the primary language of business, education, and daily life in Dubai.

You can register a company, attend meetings, see a doctor, and go about your day entirely in English.

All government forms and business documents are provided in English, and most locals and expats speak it fluently.

Absolutely. The Playbook is designed to be plug-and-play, with clear explanations, checklists, and templates to walk you through every step.

Even if this is your first time starting a company abroad. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just getting started with online income, you'll find this course easy to follow and highly actionable.

Yes. You don’t need to be making $500K+ to benefit.

Even someone earning $50K–$100K/year can save thousands annually, plus enjoy better quality of life and faster business growth. The earlier you make the move, the more money you keep long term, and the fewer bad tax habits you have to unlearn.

No. Moving to Dubai doesn’t affect your existing citizenship.

You keep your current passport, and you don’t have to give up anything.

Dubai gives you residency, not citizenship.

You’re just legally becoming a tax resident of a better jurisdiction.

Yes. Foreigners can buy freehold property in designated areas like Dubai Marina, Downtown, JVC, and The Palm.

There’s no property tax, and no capital gains tax.

Buying property worth AED 750K+ (~$204K) can even qualify you for a 10 year golden visa.

Renewable every 10 years as long as you own a property over $204k

Absolutely. That’s the whole point. UAE Free Zone companies are perfect for global operations, whether your clients are in the UK, US, Australia, Europe, or beyond. There are no restrictions on working internationally as long as your income comes from outside the UAE.

No. In the past, UAE mainland companies required local sponsors, but Free Zones are 100% foreign-owned.

You keep full control of your business, your bank accounts, and your profits.

Dubai has some of the best infrastructure in the world. Internet speeds are fast and reliable (typically 300–500 Mbps for home or coworking spaces). Coworking spaces, cafes, and home Wi-Fi are all high standard—ideal for remote work or running a global team.

Yes. Once you're a resident, you can easily apply for a UAE driver’s license. If you're from countries like the UK, US, EU, Australia, or Canada, you can swap your license without taking a driving test. Buying or leasing a car is fast, and fuel is cheap compared to most Western countries.

Extremely safe. Dubai ranks among the safest cities in the world. Crime rates are low, people leave laptops at cafés unattended, and women feel safe walking alone—even at night. It's ideal for families, solo entrepreneurs, and anyone looking for peace of mind.
