Preparations you should make when moving to the United Arab Emirates

Are you planning to move to the United Arab Emirates, such as Abu Dhabi or Dubai? An international relocation to the UAE requires careful planning. By making the right preparations, you will save time, money, and effort, ensuring a smooth start in your new home.

Important preparations when moving to the United Arab Emirates:

1. Deregistering at your municipality
• If you plan to live in the UAE for more than eight months, make sure to deregister at your municipality and always request proof of deregistration.
2. Activating your DigiD
• Ensure your DigiD remains active so that you can manage important matters such as tax filings and government transactions remotely.
3. Renewing your driver’s license
• Check whether your Dutch driver’s license will remain valid during your stay in the UAE and renew it in time if necessary.
4. Legalizing your diplomas
• Have your diplomas officially legalized so that they are recognized in the UAE for work or study purposes.
5. Applying for a Health Card
• A Health Card is mandatory for foreigners. You will need to submit copies of your passport and employment contract and undergo a health check.
• Public healthcare is free, but private healthcare is of high quality and can be expensive.
6. Choosing a professional moving company
• For a move to the UAE, a reliable moving company is essential. Low-cost movers may not handle customs formalities correctly or may not sufficiently protect your belongings.
• Choosing quality ensures that your furniture, artwork, and other valuable items arrive safely and on time, allowing you to start your new life in the United Arab Emirates without worries.

• Safe transport of your belongings: professional packing and handling to prevent damage or loss.

• Full insurance for your move: so that you are financially protected against any damage or loss.
• Personal guidance throughout the move: from planning to delivery, we assist you at every step of the relocation.
