Self Employment - visa type needed??

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere else, so perhaps someone can help.. I plan to move to Dubai early next year. Initially, I will be renting a house but plan to look for and buy a property whilst renting. I work for myself with no staff. What type of visa would I require for this and h...

Sorry, should have made myself clearer. I work from home, and want advice on getting a visa to allow me to stay in Dubai on that basis.

The advice I seek is about obtaining a visa, not setting up a business.

Apologies, maybe I'm being stupid here. I want to work from home, and I want my home to be where I want it to be, not necessarily in a specified free zone, so how do I achieve this? And FYI I'm a man with a family, if this helps. And my business is already up and running and is international, so it'...

Money is not an issue for me - the business is 100% web based and is currently run as an offshore Ltd company, which I see no reason to change. Surely there must be a way for me to do this - I will be investing a small fortune in property. Perhaps, reading between the lines, the simple option is to ...

Thanks, but as I haven't made 10 posts yet I am banned from picking up or sending pm's - not a very helpful feature.

Can u email it to me please at r7689n@live.co.uk and post here when u have done so, as it's an account I don't check very often?

Thanks in advance

Buying property - no mention of it on here

As mentioned elsewhere, I am planning to move to Dubai in February and am visiting in around three weeks' time in order to check out some properties for sale. I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be much mention of it on here and can only assume that I'm either looking in the wrong place or ther...

Many thanks. Despite the apparent confusion, your replies have been super-helpful, as have all the others. The 70k thing is exactly as I understood it - I put 70k into a business venture that is with an Emirati and that qualifies me for the investor visa. My son also thinks that if I go for a reside...
