UK to UAE Relocation Services
Moving from the United Kingdom to the UAE? We help with visas, housing and settling into life in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Relocating to the UAE usually means navigating employer-sponsored visas, an unfamiliar rental market (often requiring a full year's rent upfront), and a very different climate and culture.
We work with UAE-based partners to help you find the right neighbourhood, understand the deposit and Ejari registration process for renting, and get set up with a local bank account.
We also help you plan the practical side of leaving the UK — from notifying HMRC to what to do with your UK-registered vehicle.
What's included
- UAE visa & sponsorship guidance
- Housing search introductions in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
- UAE bank account introductions
- HMRC & UK exit checklist
- Guidance on shipping or storing belongings

Common questions
Do I need a job offer before I can move to the UAE?
In most cases, yes — UAE residency for employment purposes is typically employer-sponsored, though there are freelance and investor visa routes too.
How much deposit is needed to rent in the UAE?
Landlords often expect one to four post-dated cheques per year, so budgeting several months' rent upfront is common — we'll walk you through what to expect.
What happens to my UK tax status?
You may become non-UK tax resident depending on days spent in the UK and other factors — we recommend UK tax advice before you leave, which we can introduce.
Can you help with shipping my belongings?
Yes, we can introduce you to international shipping and storage partners experienced with the UK to UAE route.
