Setting up in Dubai, 24 May 2007
"Setting Up in Dubai" edition 4 is an excellent guide for setting up and doing business in Dubai. This book introduces the reader to Dubai and the UAE, discusses immigration and customs, the various institutions and ministries, the types of business structures, various employment issues that typically arise, housing and accommodation issues, health and education, transportation issues, leisure activities and finally, local customs and traditions. The enclosed CD Rom disk provides forms and directories. The forms are divided into individual forms such as an application for a drivers license, vehicle registration, license to purchase alcohol (yes, liquor purchased in a store can only be done by individuals have a license, the amount of which is based on an individual's income), and an application for a health card. The business forms included are numerous and both the individual and business forms are for the most part in both English and Arabic. The directories provide a list of accountants, activities, airlines, banks, business councils, car rentals, clinics, consulates and embassies, government, hotels, insurance, real estates agencies, recruitment consultants, restaurants, schools, serviced apartments, shopping malls and codes. These directories provide the name of the entity, telephone and fax numbers and website URLs.
In addition to the wealth of information in this book, there are a number of photographs of Dubai. The operational information will make this book an excellent quick reference guide after reading the book.
