United Arab Emirates

From UAE to Switzerland

Dubai/Abu Dhabi residents seeking European rule of law, schools and stability: an increasingly frequent choice.

Why move from the UAE

The UAE's fiscal attractiveness is intact, but many long-term residents look to Switzerland for non-fiscal reasons: rule of law, independent judiciary, historical European schools, Schengen mobility, climate.

Client profile

Typically a long-term Dubai expatriate (10-25 years), exiting a sector (real estate, finance, commodity trading), with teenage children for whom European schooling becomes a priority.

Banking compliance

The source-of-wealth dossier from the UAE is well received by Swiss banks when properly prepared (audited financials, professional CV, clear onshore/offshore corporate structure).
