Guides
Plain answers to the questions UK movers actually ask.
- UK & UAE Tax
Do I still pay UK tax after moving to Dubai?
Moving to Dubai doesn't switch off your UK tax bill on its own. What matters is when you stop being UK-resident — decided by the Statutory Residence Test, not your flight date.
- Visas & Residency
Do I have to live in Dubai to keep my UAE company and visa?
You don't have to live in Dubai full-time to keep a UAE company — but a residence visa needs periodic presence. How the six-month rule works, and how the Golden Visa changes it.
- Banking in Dubai
Can I keep my UK bank account after moving to Dubai?
Whether you can keep your UK bank account when you become a UAE resident — what banks may ask, what to tell them, and why most movers keep a UK account running alongside a UAE one.
