    I hope this video was helpful to you Let me know in the comments. If you already made the move to Dubai let me know of some of your pros and cons.

      I moved out 2 months ago, my only cons so far is how slow and confusing official things are. Our remote work visa set up has been a nightmare! The only other thing is sweetness, I’ve found that bread, coleslaw and many takeout dishes are super sweet compared to what we are used to in the UK.
      VERY small inconveniences and massively outweighed by all of the pros ☺️

      @@UnfilteredDubai welcome I hope your time here is productive and full of adventure. Eating out is expensive but there're some nice spots that's outside of the city that's affordable and delicious. I'm not sure what you prefer but I have some recommendations. If you check out my shorts you'll see lots of restaurant reviews. I LOVE to eat hahaha

    Woah that was a major turn off about how you can never be a citizen. And not to mention if something happened with my home country in terms of relations, I could be kicked out. And I love green spaces. This is definitely helpful in letting decide if the UAE or Dubai is place for me to live.

    • @funwithjwill
      @funwithjwill  Рік тому +2

      That is a major concern here. What a lot of people do is purchase citizenship from other countries through their citizenship by investment programs especially if they feel their home country is not an option to return to

    Hi JWill, I have heard that now rents are like $2000-4000 a month for some apartments. I guess UAE now has many Russian Oligarchs aka Billionaires. But they have created an environment to attract Tourists and Investors that have a lots of Black Money and want to dump and live in a safe heaven :D

    • @funwithjwill

      The real estate market is inflated right now so some landlords are trying to get as much money as they can. There was an influx of a lot of expats recently. You should check out my video on the cost of living in Dubai. I shared some my monthly bills expenses.
