🧳WHAT IT TAKES
  • —Set up a free-zone or mainland company
  • —Medical test + Emirates ID
  • —90+ days a year with a home and a business there to be UAE tax resident (or 183 days)
✨GOLDEN VISA
Buy AED 2M (≈ €485k) of property and get a long-term renewable residence. You keep the property; permit fees are ≈ AED 1,640. Source
⚠️THE CATCH
We apply the 9% above AED 375k. If your revenue stays under AED 3M (≈ €728k), Small Business Relief can take it to 0% until 2029. Dubai rent can eat a chunk of the rest.
🧾EXIT TAX
You own 100%, so France's exit tax on your shares applies. Outside the EU you usually have to request the deferral and give guarantees. It's wiped if you keep your shares 2 years after leaving (5 if they're worth over €2.57M).

THE OTHER COLUMN

What you keep by staying.

The board only counts tax. Here's the part that doesn't fit in a spreadsheet.

🩺
Healthcare

Public health insurance that doesn't care how your MRR is doing.

🧪
R&D tax credits

CIR / CII and JEI status can claw back a real chunk of what you spend building.

🏦
Bpifrance

Grants and loans for founders that most countries simply don't have.

🎒
Schools

Free public schools and near-free universities, if kids are in the plan.

👨‍👩‍👧
Your people

Family, friends and Sunday lunches don't fit in a spreadsheet.

The bread

Find a better €1.30 croissant. We'll wait.
