TECOM Group<\/a><\/strong>. TECOM Group includes several free zones such as Dubai Media City, Dubai Studio City, Dubai Production City, Dubai Knowledge Park, and Dubai Design District. <\/p>\n\nIf you are a freelancer in the UAE <\/strong>and choose one of these free zones, you will obtain a freelance license and a visa valid for two years. In addition to having the right to work and live in the UAE, you will be part of the Go Freelance community.<\/strong> Go Freelance is an online platform that brings together freelancers from different categories such as technology, media, education, and design. <\/p>\n\nIn short, you will be a self-employed worker in the United Arab Emirates, but with the added benefit of promoting your services through a specialized platform and participating in networking events organized by TECOM.<\/p>\n\nGet tailored advice for success in the UAE market.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/span>Remote Work Opportunities with the UAE Nomad Visa<\/span><\/h2>\n\nThe other option is for individuals working for companies outside the UAE. The visa is for remote workers, officially known as the virtual residence visa for remote work.<\/strong> You not only need to be employed by such a company, but your employer must also allow you to live in the UAE. <\/p>\n\nThis requirement to demonstrate that your employer knows and allows you to work from abroad is not new; there are several other countries with the same requirement. For example, with Spain’s digital visa, it is the same: you need to present proof that your company allows you to reside and work from Spain. So, in the UAE, it is the same condition. <\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Key Considerations for Digital Nomads with the UAE Nomad Visa<\/span><\/h2>\n\nThe visa is issued for one year. Keep in mind that with this type of visa, you need to demonstrate a minimum salary of USD 5,000 per month<\/strong>. If you are a business owner, you must demonstrate that you have owned this business for more than a year and that the monthly income is at least USD 5,000. <\/p>\n\nTaxes, in case you register a company in the UAE or work as a freelancer\/remote worker, are not the same. With the company, the tax-free threshold is AED 375,000, as we mentioned before<\/strong>, approximately 100,000 euros. <\/p>\n\nIf you work as a freelancer or remote worker in the UAE, the tax-free threshold is even higher, AED 1 million<\/strong>, approximately 250,000 euros per year. Income above this amount is subject to a 9% tax. <\/p>\n\nHowever, the only drawback I see with these visas is that, as a digital nomad in the UAE, you would need to stay at least 183 days in the UAE, as the privilege of becoming a tax resident by staying only 90 days is not applicable to remote workers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\nSo, let me know in the comments, which option would you choose? Company or Freelancer in the Emirates? <\/p>\n\n
