Thinking About a UAE Visa or Business Setup? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’ve been dreaming of a fresh start in the UAE maybe to work for yourself, escape red tape, or live somewhere that aligns better with your values, getting the right visa and setting up your own business is a crucial first step.
But where do you even begin?
Let’s break it down.
Why People Are Choosing the UAE for Freelance and Business Life
More and more professionals, families, and solo entrepreneurs are choosing the UAE for a simpler, more meaningful life. Whether you're a teacher, designer, consultant, coach, or online business owner, the UAE offers:
✅ Freelance visa and a number of other visa types
✅ Zero personal income tax
✅ Family sponsorship options
✅ Quick business setup – some in just 3–5 working days
But while the government has made things more accessible, the process can still be confusing especially if you’re doing it for the first time or unsure who to trust.
That’s where we come in.
A Trusted Network to Guide You
At Thrive in UAE, we’ve built a small, trusted network of UAE-based visa and business setup experts. Each one specialises in different types of support from freelance permits and family sponsorships to full mainland business setup.
Instead of sending you to a one-size-fits-all agency, we match you with the person or team that’s the best fit for your situation whether you’re:
A freelancer needing your own permit.
A couple starting a home-based business.
A woman moving independently and unsure where to begin.
Or a family trying to sort out visas and licenses together.
We’ve done the research, spoken to each provider personally, and only recommend those we trust.
