Relocate · expand into the UAE · or base yourself here
Moving to Dubai from Ireland? Done properly.
You don't have to fully move. Relocate to Dubai, expand your business into the UAE, or set up a base you can run from anywhere. We handle the UAE side end to end, company formation, visas, banking and relocation, and we plan the move around the Irish side, working alongside Irish-qualified advisers.
The Irish side
- An effective marginal rate that can reach about 52%
- Residency decided by day counts: 183 days, and the 280-day look-back
- A three-year ordinary-residence tail that follows you out
The UAE side
- 0% personal income tax
- 100% foreign ownership in a freezone
- A trade licence in about a week
We plan the move around both sides. That's the point.

Plain answers to the questions Irish movers actually ask.

Moving to Dubai from Ireland: what's actually different for Irish leavers
The Irish side of a Dubai move has its own rules, tax residency, the three-year ordinary-residence tail, and what stays Irish-taxable. What Irish leavers should know before they go.
- Irish & UAE Tax
Irish tax residency when you leave: the three-year tail explained
Stopping Irish tax residency is only step one. Ordinary residence keeps most Irish leavers partly within the Irish tax net for three more years, here's how the rules actually work.
- Company Formation
Setting up a UAE company from Ireland: what Irish founders should know
