Imagine waking up every morning to an exquisite view of the beach. Or an exciting cityscape that boasts some of the most extraordinary architecture on earth.

Imagine no longer. Remote workers and business owners are invited to live and work in Dubai!

Dubai has joined other destinations around the world in creating a Virtual Working Program to entice remote workers and their families to re-locate to the Emirate to 'work from home' for a year.

A special visa program has been created to encourage workers to take advantage of today's digital culture. It will allow cabin-fever-stricken remote employees and entrepreneurs to enjoy life with their families in one of the safest and culturally diverse places in the world.

Why is this exciting and ideal? Dubai was awarded the World Travel and Tourism Council "Safe Travel" Stamp, a distinction that recognizes the outstanding precautions taken by the UAE to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The Emirate has also created a "Dubai Assured" Stamp, a distinction for hotels, restaurants, shops and other vendors, to signify their compliance with the strict safety and hygiene measures adapted by the government. 

Dubai boasts not only vigorous safety/hygiene protocols, but a substantial digital infrastructure. If the city gets any more technologically advanced, The Jetsons will finally be a reality.

A number of facilities and resources will be made available to qualified individuals to support their careers and help grow their businesses. Candidates and their families will also have the benefit of new surroundings and an awesome quality of life, as Dubai offers a wide array of incredible beaches, exquisite dining, and world-class shopping and entertainment in a safe place where family is the cornerstone of society.
