Gulf Expat Professional (Finance, Tech & Consulting) के बारे में लोगों के सवाल
समय, ज़रूरी योग्यता, वेतन और पढ़ाई के तरीकों पर साफ़ जवाब।
How do 100% tax-free salaries work for expatriate professionals in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Saudi Arabia?
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait charge no personal income tax on salaries. Oman plans to introduce a personal income tax on higher incomes from 2028 (Royal Decree 56/2025); check the Oman Tax Authority for the current rate and threshold. Your home country may still tax you: for example, US citizens are taxed on worldwide income (with exclusions such as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, whose amount changes every year), while UK and Australian residents can stop being taxed at home only if they meet their country’s non-residence tests. Take tax advice for your own situation.
What is the End of Service Gratuity (EOSG) in UAE and GCC labour laws and how is it calculated?
Under UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) and standard GCC labour codes, expatriate employees who complete at least one year of continuous service are legally entitled to an End of Service Gratuity (EOSG) severance payout upon resignation or termination. In the UAE mainland, EOSG is calculated on basic salary: 21 days' basic wage for each year of service for the first 5 years, and 30 days' basic wage for each additional year thereafter (capped at 2 years' total salary). In the DIFC free zone, employers must contribute monthly into the DIFC Employee Workplace Savings (DEWS) scheme (a set percentage of basic salary that rises after five years of service; the DIFC Authority publishes the current rates), where funds are invested in global funds and paid out upon departure.
How do you attest degrees and documents for a UAE or Saudi Arabia employment visa?
Employment visas for managerial and executive titles in the GCC require a multi-stage document attestation process: 1) Home Country Notarization & Apostille / Certification: Have the original degree verified and notarized by the issuing university or relevant state department. 2) Foreign Ministry Authentication: Authenticate the document with your home government foreign affairs ministry (e.g., US Department of State, UK FCDO, Global Affairs Canada, MEA India). 3) Embassy Legalization: Submit the authenticated document to the UAE or Saudi Arabian Embassy in your home country. 4) In-Country MOFA Attestation: Upon arriving in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Riyadh, complete the final electronic attestation with the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) portal. The entire process takes between 2 and 6 weeks through specialized global attestation agencies.
What are the requirements for the UAE 10-Year Golden Visa (Executive category)?
The UAE’s 10-year Golden Residency has a "specialised professionals" category: a monthly salary of at least AED 30,000 (or equivalent), at least a bachelor’s degree and a valid work permit under an approved employment contract (ICP, Golden Residency guide). Check the current criteria and documents with ICP or GDRFA before you apply.
How does the cost of living compare between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and Doha?
Living costs differ a lot between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Doha, mainly for housing and private schooling. Compare current rents and school fees in the area where you would live before you accept an offer, and check which allowances the package includes.
