Destination
Tax-free salaries, long-term Golden Visas and a short flight from home.
The United Arab Emirates, especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is a short flight from India and home to a large Indian community. Its economy offers opportunities across trade, finance, technology, hospitality and construction.
Alongside employer-sponsored residence, the UAE offers long-term Golden and Green visas that don't need an employer sponsor, for eligible investors, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals and talented individuals.
