Hi,
I´m planning to move to Duabi but need a residence visa since I dont want to live there on a tourist visa. The problem is that I dont want to work. I can´t figure out a way around this since the only way to obtain a residence visa is either by 1, to work, 2, to marry (not yet) and 3, start a company (no).
So I´m looking for some ideas or for a company that can "hire" me and I will pay that company a fee for the help.
Have a nice!

There r companies that do this....but it is going to cost you...
Another possibility is the buy freehold. Then you are allowed to request a residence visa.

Thanks for the answer. How much do you think they charge?
Never heard the word freehold before (wikipedia wasn´t any help either), guess it has someting to do with real estate? In that case it´s not an option either.
If you have any contact information to any of those companies please PM me.

For tax reasons. I need residence in a tax free country.

Hmm seems a bit weird might not work for you. it's tax free salary, and there are tax free zones. but considering it as a tax free country is entirely another issue.

Buying a freehold
completed property is the cheapest non-working way you can get a residence visa, excluding the price of the expensive property. But that appreciates in value anyway. Search thru or something for info on freehold.

OK guys, I've heard some different things about this. If buying freehold gets you a residence visa, does the visa only apply when the property is fully paid off, or, can you receive the visa even though you still have a mortgage? Also, when you do get a residence visa this way, does it apply to your family as well?
A little confused....

You can apply for the visa only after handover of the keys, which means you cannot get a visa if you buy incomplete property. The developer will just ask for a no-objection letter from your building owner (in case of an apartment), and possibly from the bank too. However, you definitely not get a mortgage from a local bank here if you don't have a job.
The visa can be had for your wife and kids also.
