Moving Residency from Germany to Dubai

With 0% UAE personal income tax, 7-hour direct flights to Frankfurt, and an established German community of around 12,000, Dubai is becoming a stable base for German founders, professionals, and families.

The city also offers a faster route to business setup than many European jurisdictions. Meydan Free Zone is where many start, with business setup from AED 12,500.
