Working remotely from the UAE

  1. Check who may apply. Every job here says it takes applications from the UAE, across EMEA or from anywhere. Most remote jobs do not: they name one country, and an application from outside it is rarely read.
  2. Say which hours you can work. The UAE is four hours ahead of London in winter and three in summer, so a European working day overlaps well with yours. Say where you are and which hours you can keep.
  3. Ask how you would be employed. An employer abroad may hire you as a contractor or through an employer-of-record service rather than on its own payroll. Ask how the contract, pay and benefits work before you accept.
  4. Keep your residence in order. Living in the UAE needs a residence visa of your own, and a remote job with an employer abroad does not provide one. The UAE Government portal lists the options, including one for people working remotely.
