Dubai is one of the world’s most popular destinations for expatriates, famous for its tax-free income, year-round sunshine, world-class infrastructure and outstanding safety and lifestyle. Whether you are relocating to Dubai from the UK, Europe, Asia or anywhere else — for a new job, a fresh start or to join family — our team manages every detail of your move so you can focus on the exciting life ahead.

From your first survey to the day you unpack, a dedicated move manager coordinates your international shipping, visas, home search and schooling — all backed by our accredited network and the Relo-Global platform. This is relocation to Dubai handled end to end, transparently and stress-free.

With one dedicated move manager and the Relo-Global platform, every part of your move to Dubai is coordinated, tracked and kept stress-free — from the first survey to your final box.

Why relocate to Dubai?

Dubai’s appeal is easy to understand. The emirate offers tax-free personal income, a stable and business-friendly economy, and a strategic location that puts Europe, Africa and Asia within a few hours’ flight. It is widely regarded as one of the safest and most liveable cities in the region, with excellent healthcare, modern transport and a cosmopolitan community where people from more than 200 nationalities live side by side.

For professionals, Dubai is a magnet for talent across finance, technology, logistics, healthcare, hospitality and construction, and many roles come with attractive relocation packages. For families, the city offers a huge choice of international schools, family-friendly communities, beaches and year-round outdoor living — and because English is widely spoken, settling in is far easier than many newcomers expect.

Of course, every move has its paperwork — residence visas, Emirates ID, document attestation, tenancy contracts and school registrations. That is exactly where Relocate MENA adds value: we know the local rules and timelines and handle the admin, so your move to Dubai is smooth from the very first step.

Comprehensive Survey and Personalized Planning

Your journey to Dubai starts with a free survey of your household goods and personal effects. We ensure every item is accounted for, and with your approval, we finalize the survey sheet to proceed confidently.

Transparent Quoting Process

We value transparency. After the survey, we send your details through our bespoke IT system, Relo-Global.com, to multiple accredited moving companies in both your current location and Dubai. This allows us to provide a range of options and competitive quotes, making our process clear and straightforward.

With Relocate MENA, you have the freedom to “build your move.” Choose from our network of FIDI- or IAM-accredited movers that best meet your specific needs and budget, and our detailed RFQ process ensures you get the right service at the right price. It is the same trusted approach behind our wider international move service.

Moving to Dubai FAQs

How do I move to Dubai with Relocate MENA?

It starts with a free survey of your household goods. We then run a competitive request-for-quote process with accredited movers, help you build the right package, and a dedicated move manager coordinates shipping, customs, visas, housing and schooling from start to finish.

Do I need a visa to live in Dubai?

Yes. Most expatriates live in Dubai on a residence visa, usually sponsored by an employer or through property or business ownership, and you will also need an Emirates ID. Our visa and immigration team manages the application, plus any family or dependant visas, and arranges document attestation for the certificates you will need.

How much does it cost to relocate to Dubai?

Every move is unique, so cost depends on your origin, the volume of your shipment, the services you choose and your timing. We provide clear, competitive quotes through our RFQ process with no hidden costs, and let you choose the option that best fits your budget.

Can you help me find a home and schools in Dubai?

Absolutely. Our Dubai home search service matches you with the right neighbourhood and property, while our school search service finds and secures places at reputable international schools for your children.

How long does a move to Dubai take?

It depends on where you are moving from, the shipping method and visa processing times. As a rough guide, ocean shipments to Dubai are measured in weeks while air shipments are far quicker, and your visa runs in parallel. Your move manager builds a personalised schedule and flags the key dates so nothing catches you out.

Can you move my pet and car to Dubai?

Yes. We arrange pet relocation and vehicle shipping to Dubai alongside your household move, handling the permits, health requirements and customs so the whole family arrives together.
