Desk 02 · Move

Land softly, priced straight.

Moving to Dubai is a dozen decisions where the person advising you usually earns more when you choose wrong. We quote the real all-in number first, then run the whole file.

What we handle

The landing, end to end.

Visa to school run, one file, one point of contact, one honest number before anything starts.

M·01

Golden visa

The AED 2M property route (mortgages now qualify), the AED 30K salary route, the entrepreneur routes. We pick the one that fits and run the whole file.

M·02

Company setup

Free zone vs mainland decided on your actual business, not the agent's commission. The AED 12,500 headline is never the invoice, so we quote what it really costs.

M·03

Banking

The banks that actually open accounts for your profile and passport, with the file prepared right the first time. No six-week silence.

M·04

Schools

Waitlist reality, curriculum fit, and the honest read on the brochure schools. Applications timed so you're not paying for a year you won't use.

M·05

Housing

The neighbourhood that fits your life and commute, rent vs buy math, and an Ejari that doesn't eat a week of your time.

M·06

Landing logistics

Emirates ID, driving licence, health insurance, utilities, SIM. The two-week checklist, run for you while you work.

Why this desk exists

What we protect you from.

These aren't hypotheticals. They're documented patterns in the Dubai setup market, and avoiding them is most of our job.

The quote lottery

Agents quote 20–70% apart for the identical licence. One documented spread on the same package: AED 10,790 between cheapest and priciest agent.

Document hostage games

Firms demanding thousands to release a client's own trade licence and portal logins after cancellation. Your documents stay yours, always.

The stalled file

Visa applications that sit for weeks because one attestation was missed. We sequence the file right the first time and chase it daily.

the most common complaint
Signed into every engagement

Three guarantees nobody else in Dubai will put in writing.

We checked. The five biggest setup firms publish government fees to the dirham, then hide their own fee behind a call. These three lines are in our contract instead.

The real number

Ask what it costs and you get a number, not a callback. If we can't price your scope on the first call, the call was free.

Document freedom

Your licence, your logins, your files. Released within 48 hours of any exit, free. The hostage games end here.

Renewal price-lock

Year-two and year-three pricing written into the signup quote. The promo-then-triple move is the industry's favourite trick. Not ours.

How this desk is paid You pay a flat coordination fee, quoted before we start. Typically AED 5,000–25,000 depending on scope. Any partner referral fee is disclosed to you in writing. See the full ledger →
How it runs

One file, three phases.

PHASE 01

The plan, priced

A 30-minute call, then a written plan: route, sequence, timeline, and the real all-in cost. You approve before anything starts.

PHASE 02

The file, run

We coordinate the visa, licence, bank and school files in the right order, with vetted operators, and chase every step.

PHASE 03

The landing

You arrive to a city that's ready for you: ID appointments booked, account open, keys sorted, school confirmed.

The next chapter

Settled people start looking at property.
