What is Relocate2UAE?

Relocate2UAE is an independent UAE relocation information platform founded by expats in Abu Dhabi. We provide free guides, tools, and verified partner connections for families and professionals moving to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other Emirates. We do not provide regulated relocation services ourselves.

Is Relocate2UAE completely free?

Yes. All guides, calculators, and relocation resources are free to access. We earn referral commissions from vetted partners, but users never pay us directly.

Who should use Relocate2UAE?

Families relocating for work, remote workers seeking UAE residency, entrepreneurs setting up companies, and professionals moving from the UK, Ireland, Europe, or the US.

Do you cover both Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Yes. We cover all seven Emirates, with deep city-specific guidance for Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

How do you vet your partners?

Partners are vetted for licensing, reputation, and experience. This includes RERA, KHDA, ADEK, MOHRE, and GDRFA-regulated providers.

How current is your information?

Content is reviewed quarterly and updated for 2025. We monitor UAE government authorities and regulatory changes continuously.
