Features of moving to Dubai, UAE

Differences in mentality, social norms and lifestyle. The UAE is a Muslim country, so most of the norms of behavior are related to the religious way of life. For example, it is forbidden to advertise relations between a woman and a man in public places, as well as drinking alcohol and smoking. Penalties are also imposed for the use of profanity and negative political speech. The privacy of every citizen is also valued, so there is a ban on taking photos and videos of the local population without their consent.

It is possible to live in the UAE and enjoy all the benefits only by obtaining a resident visa on any suitable basis: investment or business, employment in a company or freelance work, study at university or retirement age, etc. You can obtain a visa for yourself. Having obtained a visa for yourself, you can apply to sponsor close family members.

In addition to a visa, it is important to open a bank account in a local bank, as cards that work in Russia will not work here.

It is worth bearing in mind that the high standard of living in the UAE requires an appropriate income. Statistics show that a family of 3 people will need from 20 thousand dirhams per month, where most of the costs fall on housing. Therefore, even before moving, it is worth providing yourself with a financial cushion.

A basic knowledge of English will come in handy, as it is the second most widely spoken language after Arabic. Signs and signs in Dubai are most often found in these two languages.

The climate of the country is hot and quite dry, you should be ready for summer heat up to +45 degrees. The situation is greatly saved by the presence of many parks and squares, providing a lot of greenery and cool shade.
