About these guides

These guides are written by Dubai Transition Consultants (DTC) — a UK → Dubai transition consultancy that helps individuals, families and business owners make the move from Britain to the UAE. We handle the parts people find hardest: UK and UAE tax, company formation, visas and residency, banking, and family relocation.

The hub is led by Alan Underwood, DTC's founder. Everything here is grounded in the real questions clients ask us every week, and every guide carries a "last reviewed" date so you can see how current it is.

How we write

• Plain answers first — no padding.
• Real figures and named rules, kept current.
• No hype, no hard sell. If something needs personalised advice, we say so.

DTC operates as a UK company (Reg. 16467372) and a Dubai Free Zone company. For anything specific to your situation, get in touch.
