Yes, this is true. Was just there & ppl were saying that you could leave your cell phone out on a public table (like at a restaurant) for a few hours & then come back to pick it up. Many ppl told me about how safe it is there.
@@troyswood I live here, and thats how you reserve a table. If I arrive before my friends, and need the bathroom, I leave my wallet and phone on the table.
To me, the idea of being okay with paying at least a little something is great as long as the money is efficiently paying for services or products needed to at least maintain the status quo of the nation. One of the reasons why I left the US is because I felt as though I was constantly being ripped off.
If you're an Indian citizen and you take a residence permit in UAE by opening up your business there, it is required that you stay in India only for 120 days in a year. Then you won't be taxed in India for your income accrued outside India (UAE). But if you exceed 120 days stay in India, your tax benefit is gone and you'll have to declare and pay tax in India for your income accrued outside India (UAE).
That to if you earn more than 15 lack taxable income from india right if you have an llp company to maintain businessses in india then its dividend will not taxable so you can stay upto 179 days in india
In my opinion, UAE is fantastic for residence if you work here or have personal wealth. It is a tad over complex for company incorporation. It is improving rapidly, though I am still not a fan of buying property here, compared to say Turkey, Northern Cyprus or Portugal.
🤘😎👍I've been to Dubai several times on my way to Afghanistan, which is a long 18-hour flight! It's a beautiful place, but the summers are brutally hot!
Please read this, ironically I started a company Nomads bnb, an LLC, during the pandemic I had liquidity issues, no assitance or delays, I had to break some contracts, I was personally held liable for all the company liabilities, I EVEN WENT TO JAIL FOR 12 days, and I am still paying those debts, I am banned from leaving the country and I am still being chased… LLC laws do not protect you, they are a joke, there is no such thing as limited liability in UAE, they pierce the corporate veil, the laws and what really happens are not the same Be very careful!!!
@@mm80134 Sucks to be you. They learned back in 2008 that many foreigners would take on huge debts, and then leave the country when their business failed. There were so many cars abandoned at the airport that it wasn't funny.

Maybe it's best to travel to these places that Andrew mentions and stay there for 90 to 120 days as Visa passport allow to get the feel of these places, people and cultures. Traveling as a tourist than living there which will give you a choice of deciding whether it's a place to stay or do business or both. Now a day people from all over the globe wants to move to other places. I live here in the US became a citizen but now I'm also thinking of moving overseas. I had a friend that's moving to live in Dakar Senegal.
Moved our business to Dubai this year. If you do the same thing you'll probably want to end it all after a few weeks. Why? The paperwork and intricate details of starting/moving your business to Dubai are extremely confusing and annoying. You cannot just buy an LLC like we do in the west. It was worth it as we pay zero tax now and the place is awesome, but still, good luck on setting up your business in there. Thankfully we found a business setup consulting company to handle everything for us, otherwise the process would take months I think.
Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. According to the most recent study conducted by Freedom House, the UAE has a rating of 17/100 (100 being the best), and as such is rated "NOT FREE." One may be able to incorporate there for certain tax reasons, but no one in their right mind would ever want to live there. You'd be better off living in Turkey or Jordan than living in Dubai.
What do you mean? People here can wear shorts and flipflops and go clubbing as freely as people can wear hijab and go to the mosque. I never saw a place as organized and neat as Dubai, their philosophy is order, peace, mutual respect, no hate and no crossing boundaries. it's very young and budding and the brutal heat is a significant disadvantage
@@___________2204 Political rights: 5/40....Civil Liberties: 12/60...Combined Score: 17/100 "Not Free". The things which you mentioned do not equate with political freedom and civil liberties. Are you willing to exchange freedom and liberties for "shorts and flipflops", my friend? And I'll venture a guess that the privilege of wearing "shorts and flipflops" only extends to males, not females. Cheers and best wishes.
UAE Government will always give priority to its nationals over temporary residents. Covid vaccinations were distributed in this order. It will never change. Hence the Govt has no policy about naturalization.
Not really. I am Indian expat in UAE and myself and wife got free covid vaccines two doses and it was in best hospital in Abu Dhabi Cleveland. It was free and best experience, even in my country government charged for it and wasn’t organised well either. We were lucky to be here during that time.
Thanks Andrew as usual! I just didn't understand one thing. Shouldn't I be spending at least 182 days in Dubai to be considered fiscally residence there? Meaning I can't just pop up two days a year and state that I pay my taxes in UAE right? Otherwise everyone would say live in Thailand and be a couple of days a year in Dubai: is that a possibility?
It is a complete waste of money with everything inflated in price. Its hell on earth in the summer and most places are getting old and over used. Its on the grey with fatca and u have to pay with ZERO benefits absolutely NO BENEFITS!
@@enissljivo4387 You definitely can get a business bank account for your Sharjah FZC LLC. Check out Rakbank. Not sure where you are getting your information from...
@@enissljivo4387 It's a freezone company. Why would anyone care if it's in Sharjah or in Dubai? Our e-commerce business runs perfectly fine with the Sharjah set up. Opening up a bank account has always been in a pain in the UAE. We endorsed a local company to make introduction to bank managers. After a rather long background check with lots of paperwork and a face to face meeting, it was settled.
Just open a Fujairah FZ with Mashreq or Rakbank or bank of Fujairah for business banking and then use Emirates NBD or HSBC for personal banking. If you're a bigger company with the turnover, patience and paperwork to open Emirates NBD business account then go for it, but you're going to need to give up your left testicle and right kidney to make it happen. Only real negative here is that you really want to have multiple business bank accounts in case 1 gets shut down, but you should really do that anywhere. As opening a business bank account here doesn't happen overnight.
The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services. According to Human Rights Watch, the UAE detains those who criticize authorities, including hundreds of activists and academics, and Emirati laws discriminate against women, migrants and LGBT individuals. Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom. So if money is all you care about, then by all means live in Dubai/UAR. Just keep your opinions to yourself and you'll be fine.

NC has not talked about it in a while. My personal experience is that Labuan is not worth it anymore. I'm closing my corp there. They have very high substance requirements now. You need a Labuan office, with full time employees. The tax cap is gone too.
only 2 problems 1-full of Indians ,,even hotels and supermarkets mostly Indian style and smell , 2- very hot weather from April to October ,I mean very hot ,,but amazing weather in winter
Dubai is made by cheap labourers that from india. skyrappers toll building built by indian. Big smart road built by Indian do you know real fact of dubai?Maximum All the vegetables groceries comes from India. Their wealth behind dirty sweat diying labour.

One thing I've heard about Dubai is how incredibly safe it is even late at night.
Yeeeeeeeessss

Same with Canada, except worse.
Just posted about doing this in 14 days - from set up to opening the business bank account!
In addition uae is giving golden visas for expats which is an amazing step ...u can get 5 or 10 years golden visa to live if you are investor etc

Can you talk about the corporate taxes pros and cons between Dubai and Singapore for Canadian?
Thank you for the video!
Very informative and helpful, thanks Andrew. To be honest, Dubai was not on my radar before this video.

@@torontovoice1 I think it's 90 days in Switzerland.

What would better free zone (JAFZA / Ajman / RAK) option to setup offshore UAE company for international payment services?

You have to visit once every 6 months - that’s it.
