Move to the United Arab Emirates trouble-free

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country located on the Persian Gulf and consists of 7 independent emirates, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The United Arab Emirates is located in the continent of Asia. De Haan knows the local challenges of this continent and the Middle East like no other and has good agreements with its local partners, who, like us, are affiliated with FIDI. De Haan specializes in international removals and has extensive experience with overseas removals to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and relocations to the Middle East.

Our relocation specialists will pack your household effects carefully and professionally. In addition, your relocation coordinator will guide you and, where possible, unburden you throughout the entire relocation process from A to Z. With relocation specialist De Haan, you can move to the Middle East worry-free.

Custom formalities when moving to the United Arab Emirates

We arrange customs formalities for you and ensure safe transport. Whether your household effects for your move to the United Arab Emirates are by land, air or sea freight. Let us help you with your relocation to the Emirates or inquire at the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in The Hague and RDW. Please note that you cannot just take everything with you and that e.g. strict rules apply to the import of cars to Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Ask your Move Coordinator about this.

Moving to the United Arab Emirates

Are you also going to leave for Abu Dhabi or Dubai? When you move abroad, you have to take a number of things into account. You can already prepare a number of them well. If you are going to live in the Emirates for more than 8 months, arrange your deregistration with the municipality in advance and always ask for proof of deregistration. Also activate your DigiD before moving to the United Arab Emirates, extend your Dutch driving license and have your diplomas legalized. All this will save you time, money and effort! Public health care when moving to the UAE is free for everyone, but private care can be very expensive. Nevertheless, the care is of a very high level. Foreigners must apply for a Health Card. To obtain a Health Card, you must submit copies of your passport and employment contract, and your health will also be checked.

Dutch in Abu Dhabi and Dutch Club Dubai

To get to know new people when moving to the UAE, you can contact the Dutch Association or Dutch Club, among others. In the United Arab Emirates, Dutch associations can be found in Abu Dhabi and Dutch Club Dubai. In Dubai there is also a business club aimed at maintaining business contacts.
