    There's nothing wrong with getting away from the UK tax burden, which is horrendous. People need to realise that it's a choice. You as a person and your company are highly sought after, and many countries are now offering tax incentives to entice you. I would highly recommend anyone who has a business or is a freelancer with no ties, to get out into the world and find a situation that suits them better. A word of caution though - if you are tax resident in Dubai and spend more time out of Dubai, that may invalidate your UK tax exemption, especially in the first 5 years, seek advice.

    You guys are in for a treat. I’m glad you are residents now, but when you experience the summer you may not ever want to be here from July to September again. Personally, I’m going to Greece for that time frame - while it’ll be hot, i won’t die and there is tree and a breeze.

    Few questions:
    If you are non-uk residents and still run a ltd company in the UK i.e. your real estate business, do you pay yourselves dividends into your Dubai company? And would that be tax free? Is your youtube channel run from your UK company or Dubai?

    Great informative clip. Love everything about your channel. My questions for the follow up especially with your agent would be:
    1. How much does each type of visa cost-Business Visa, Temp Resident visa etc and how long does each visa take?
    2. How much is required to open/register a business there-both off-shore/online and on-shore/Dubai active business?
    3. What are the tax differences on on-shore business vs off-shore online business?
    4. What is the rough minimum initial deposit required to open a business bank account for these types of visa and any requirements, balance regulations and any recommendations from you and your agents team?
    Hope these questions will help me and many others who are interested in moving to Dubai and the whole process in general- TIME, COSTS, DEPOSITS, REQUIREMENTS.. Love you guys, - look forward to watching the follow up Q&A clip

    My question
    1.Can you set up any kind of business? Like I plan on starting a business where I resell products, does that count as a business & can I get my residence visa ?
    2. I want to know more about the type of visa summer mentioned the “yearly visa, kind of a gap year visa”
    3. I want to know more about the investor visa? How much do I need to invest?
    4. The property visa, do I just purchase any kind of property & get the visa?
    I hope you answer all my questions, trying to see which option suits me best❤️

Can you share how a non-US, non-UK citizen can open a company to do online trading of US instruments i.e. US stock, US futures (crude oil futures) in Dubai? What type of company we can set up when we don't buy or sell anything in the UAE? The reason I'm thinking to do this is for the tax advantage Dubai has.. Thanks :)

    I am looking at the same route and I am mainly a freelance programmer/game-dev but confused if I setup a company in dubai am I liable for any obligations related to earning or hiring or having office space ?
    2. Was it $10k total cost for both of your visas and business setup ?
    3. I know you have mentioned you plan to move to Aus/different location and not settle in dubai, but even then looking at rent of apartments, do you think its better to buy one on mortgage instead of just paying rent ?
