How to get a digital nomad visa in Dubai, UAE

The Digital Nomad visa is a relatively new visa programme being implemented in Dubai. This visa is issued for one year and can be extended thereafter. This type of legalisation is chosen by remote workers and those working from anywhere in the world.

Features and benefits:

  • The ability to reside to work in Dubai as long as the basis for the visa is valid.
  • Anyone can formalise, regardless of nationality.
  • No need to pay personal taxes in the UAE. However, they remain taxable persons in their home country.
  • The opportunity to sponsor your relatives and move to the Emirates with your family.
  • As a resident, you can rent a flat, send your children to school, use communication services, banks and international payment systems.
  • You do not have to stay in Dubai permanently, you can travel out. However, you must not be outside the UAE for more than six months continuously to fulfil the visa requirements.

To apply for a visa, you must prepare an employment contract with your employer that is valid for at least one year. And the salary level must be at least $3500 per month (income certificate and bank statements for 3-6 months will be required). It is also necessary to purchase local health insurance valid in the region. After submitting the documents, you will have to go through the standard process of medical examination and biometrics.
