What a UAE residence visa gives you
- Legal residence in the UAE and an Emirates ID;
- A full resident bank account in the UAE — with a card, online banking and international transfers;
- 0% personal income tax;
- The ability to build UAE tax residency and obtain a Tax Residency Certificate;
- Renting property, sponsoring visas for your family, and living in one of the safest countries in the world.
The most cost-effective route to a residence visa — a freelance licence
There are several ways to obtain a UAE residence visa: buying property (requiring an investment of hundreds of thousands of dirhams), registering a full company (more expensive both to set up and to maintain annually) — or a freelance licence.
The freelance licence is the most budget-friendly legal option: you receive a professional licence, a 2-year residence visa and an Emirates ID with no office, no employees and no heavy investment. It is the solution for talented professionals who want to work officially in the Emirates — and for anyone who wants UAE residency at minimal cost.

Residence visa and changing your tax residency
