Step 2: Secure Employment and Visa Guidance
Building a network before moving can help ease a few anxieties, like finding suitable employment. We joined Black Girl In Dubai Membership group to expand our network and connections, which has been essential to Luxe Immersive Travel and our move. The Membership allowed us to connect with people from all over the world, with varying businesses, skills, and interests.
US Citizens are not required to obtain a Visa prior to travel for tourist stays under 30 days, tourist will get a Visa on arrival at the airport. This means, you can visit the UAE for 30 days before you are required to leave the country, or change your visa status (i.e. become a resident). To extend their stay, some tourist-visa holders will make a "boarder run" which means they will drive to Saudi Arabia or Oman, get a stamp from that country, then return to the UAE for another 30-day Tourist Visa. Should you need a Visa prior to your travel to the UAE, reach out to us, and we will connect you with our partners.

Step 3: Plan Your Finances and Budget

Saving and budgeting wisely will help you maintain financial stability and enjoy your new life in Dubai.
Step 4: Find Suitable Housing and Neighborhood
Dubai offers a diverse range of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and amenities. Research different areas based on your preferences, such as proximity to work, lifestyle preferences, and accessibility to amenities. Explore rental options that fit your budget and lifestyle, whether it's a trendy apartment in the city center or a villa in the suburbs.
Step 5: Prepare for Healthcare and Insurance
Healthcare is a crucial aspect of any relocation. Research the healthcare system in Dubai, including insurance options and providers.
