For Irish leavers
Moving to Dubai from Ireland? Done properly.
Relocate, expand your business into the UAE, or set up a base you can run from anywhere. We handle the UAE side end to end — and we understand what makes the Irish side different.
Why Irish leavers choose Dubai
- 0% personal income tax — versus an effective top rate of around 52% at home.
- 100% ownership of your UAE company, with a licence typically in weeks.
- Residency for you and your family — through your company, a job, or investment routes.
- A huge Irish community — you won't be short of a GAA club or a familiar accent.
- Lifestyle — safety, schools, healthcare and year-round sun.
What's different when you're leaving Ireland
The UAE side of an Irish move is the same as anyone else's. The Irish side isn't. Irish tax residency runs on its own day-count rules, and even after you cease residency you normally remain ordinarily resident for three more tax years — a tail that can keep some worldwide income within the Irish net if it isn't planned for. Irish property stays Irish-taxable, and anti-avoidance rules exist for short "tax holiday" absences.
None of it is a reason not to move. All of it is a reason to plan the Irish exit and the UAE setup together — in the right order, before you go.
