Typically, 6 months from your initial consultation to your settled arrival in Dubai.

Can it be faster? In some cases, yes (3-4 months for simpler situations). However, document attestation and school applications generally require a 4-6 month minimum timeframe and are subject to external authority processing times outside our control.

Your employer handles your work visa, but that is only a small piece of the puzzle. You still need to handle the logistics of moving your life.

You still need to coordinate:

  • Document attestation (which must start in the UK 3-4 months early)
  • School applications (navigating 6-18 month waiting lists)
  • Property search and area selection aligned to your lifestyle
  • Banking setup, DEWA (utilities), internet, and vehicle sourcing
  • Family visa sponsorship (if bringing a spouse or children)

We coordinate the 90% that your employer does not cover, ensuring a seamless transition for you and your family.

We offer property search and school placement as standalone services, though we strongly recommend full relocation coordination. Decisions like where to live and where to send your children are more connected than they appear the wrong sequence creates expensive problems that are difficult to unwind.
If you’re already based in Dubai and need support with a specific project, contact us to discuss options.

You do not need a business to relocate. You can relocate via several pathways:

  • Employment Visa (sponsored by a UAE employer)
  • Investor Visa (requires property investment of  £105,000+)
  • Golden Visa (requires property of  £420,000+ or status as a skilled professional)
  • Green/Freelance Visa (self-sponsored for qualified freelancers, remote workers, and consultants)
  • Retirement Visa (age 55+ with pension/savings meeting income thresholds)
  • Family Sponsorship (where your spouse sponsors you)

We assess which pathway best suits your profile during the consultation and coordinate the entire process accordingly.

Yes, and some people do. However, relocation is highly complex and time-consuming.
