I moved to Dubai - Why and how I did it.

[@aliabdaal]

wooo exciting!!!

[@zohaibkhan9708]

ur next buddy :)

[@ayush-ind]

You're following him!!

[@abzy3k1]

England is done. Turning into a sh!t hole. Oliur was being polite. Dubai just makes sense right now

[@jasonbritto6946]

He came to my hometown lol

[@DrAminaYonis]

Good luck! We just made the move to the UAE last month - agree with all your points re: tax and safety.

[@Theophile-eliet]

Hi, I understand your move. I’m expat 10y+. I spent one year in Dubai over the past 7 years. The main pros are network, safety and taxes. Cons are pollution, dating and the short term and sometime fake friendship that you have there. Dubai is a much better choice than most of western countries in my opinion. Now I’m living in Thailand Bangkok. It’s not perfect but match what I’m looking for and accepting as a downside. Happy to see you growing men

[@SuperSaf]

All the best man, might have to join you soon lol

[@abzy3k1]

We're all heading that way. England is done.

[@sperwaz]

Yes we’re heading to Abu Dhabi in the next 2 years. UK is over. Sorry 🤷

[@samuelodan2376]

You both would fit right in.

[@YoungPrimz1]

Same not Dubai but just out of England to try something new

[@malmay999]

I'm so happy for you! You are, as you said, in very fortunate position but you worked hard for that. Keep creating amazing content here and take care of yourself.

[@denizberk3504]

Good for you Oliur! I'm really happy for you. A lot of us are following right behind you! Let us know how you get on and your lifestyle; accommodation, things to do and night life).

[@masterwatch]

Dubai is great but it is a very warm place for many months of the year.

[@dylan-winn-brown]

Just made the move from London! You're gonna love it

[@AureliusTjin]

Congrats bro 👏 a big move. Glad to hear you’re in full health, too.

[@KhanStopMe]

exciting stuff! good luck on the move - I will come and visit!!

[@AlexNapierHolland]

As a 38-year-old dude I think your logic is bang-on - I would totally flex that freedom. By your late thirties pressures like, 'Should I have a family now?' start to creep up.

[@privateprivate2421]

I'm moving to Dubai next year from the UK. So excited.

[@garishanth]

Congratulations Oliur! I hope it all goes smooth and you're happy! 👏🏽 (I discovered your main channel, UltraLinx, in 2017, with your house tour video, though it's not on your channel anymore :(, it's great seeing you and your businesses grow, year after year. You're an inspiration! All the best!)

[@chess1]

Glad you’re healthy again! Good luck in Dubai take care.

[@jacobsed6665]

Good luck!!! Keep us updated! A moving vlog would be great to see :-)

[@stereoheartsrnb]

Good luck with the move. Looking forward to seeing a new studio with a skyline view! What will you do with your house in the UK? Rent, sell or leave empty?

[@abidfokrul]

Can’t wait to see the results after a year.

[@SmartMoneywithKai]

Awesome choice Oliur. Just did the same recently and no regrets at all, absolutely loving it here. Such an inspiring place to live. No taxes is the cherry on top 😉 Cheers 👋

[@izfau]

Good for you! Best time to move while you fit and healthy. I've done the same. Now resident of Australia for the past 4 years. Have fun in your new adventure.

[@Depstha]

This Video randomly popped up on my feed. Watched till the last min. Good luck man!

[@zannatul23]

Insha'Allah it goes well

[@therealbennydong]

As someone who lives in San Diego and been here for 4 years, I agree. It is very chill - great place to end up but not as "hustle" as other cities.

[@codewithguillaume]

Oliur, I just did the same, moved to Dubai last weeks. Would love to have a coffee one day! Best :)

[@thesamuelnam]

This is tempting as a business man in australia with a family..

[@lillogadget]

You love to see cost of living in Dubai videos in the future!

[@NeKa..]

You are spot on... UK and London especially, is so taxing now financially and socially that it's time to move away.

[@georgemathew1906]

Born and raised in Dubai and honestly one of the best experience in my life... seen and learnt alot

[@justincosplay]

Don’t go to Japan in the summer. Heat is killer. What about the house and car ????

[@alexrubira]

So fk*** interesting that I ate the whole video without skipping any second of it. Best of luck with your new adventure man 💪🏼

[@andrehall5747]

Congratulations on your move. As a southern Californian (Orange County), I agree that San Diego is an amazing area. Oceanside and Carlsbad are beautiful communities.

[@cfwong1d300s]

exciting and wish you all the best in the new adventure! I moved to the UK 12 yrs ago as a student and been working in London for 8 yrs now, it was nice in the beginning but now it is true that the future is not that bright. I'm nowhere near the 45% tax bracket but still, income tax+NI+council tax are heavy, considering the service we get in return. NHS is such a broken system, gov is a joke, councils have declared bankruptcy, inflation rockets to 40 yrs high. I am considering to move to another country and saw this vid pops up, I argee with your reasons and logic completely, maybe Dubai is the place.

[@baraddur7664]

You teach me something here. Thank you, man.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Welcome 🇦🇪 Note: If you earn over 3m AED revenue you are liable for 9% corporate tax - if you were told that you can avoid this with a freezone company this is 100% false

[@AlexMannings1]

Going myself next year. I can't wait. Enjoy!

[@SpencerTimme]

San Diego Resident here, come back any time you want! Best of luck on your next adventure!

[@CryptoJackk]

awesome! Origionally from UK but I've lived in Dubai for 13 years now love it! :D

[@elleramirezz]

Best of luck on your next journey! Japan is undoubtedly one of the top destinations, and it's my personal favorite to visit. For beautiful beaches and friendly locals, I highly suggest exploring the Philippines! :)

[@TomNoske]

Pumped for you Australia trip, you’ll love it here! Beside the zero taxes, we have basically everything else you spoke about here

[@themrgumbatron]

Wishing you all the best in Dubai mate. Upwards and onwards! Keep inspiring

[@magaliechetrit]

Good for you - been following you since your Tumblr days (yeah dude!) and I am stoked for you. Also, about the alcohol comment: I am very happy to see someone else saying it. All the best.

[@MustafaAliOnline]

Welcome to The Gulf. Defo a good move!

[@jalabi99]

Thrilled to see you be able to start a new chapter in your life! Cheers, mate

[@bofenglin]

That's fantastic, good for you Oliur! That actually something I will look into now that you mentioned it.

[@KingParzly]

You look so happy mate! This is good, I too am planning on moving there. Counting down the months till then. Thanks for the link 👍🏽

[@shahrenakhtar4758]

Good luck with you're new adventure! looking forward to the Dubai content!

[@OpiTheFitnessAnimator]

Your first trip was San Diego! I lived there for three years from 2007 - 2010. I lived and worked in Carlsbad and Del Mar! I loved it too! Loved Encinitas as well. I was working in video games. Most of us lost our jobs due to the crash but I had a great time there! Good luck in Dubai. You will smash it wherever you are.

[@songsermbaothonglor556]

Think twice if you hate the heat. I have been working in Saudi Arabia for 3 years. I quite because of the heat. Imagine when you get out of the house and feel like you’re walking in the flames. You have been warned.

[@AliHesarii]

Congratulations Oliur!

[@Sean_Choe]

Congrats, super excited for you!

[@HJokerQueen]

I wish you all the best on your next adventure.

[@ShadiKhair]

You're welcome to Dubai Brother! Happy to have you here!

[@blackishtruth]

Your tenacity and mindset battling stage 3 cancer and your trajectory in your career is inspirational to say the least💯💫🧠🙌🏾! You're making the right decision. I have family in Dubai and of course have 0 tax 🎉. I love Dubai myself as I have visited and feel safer there than in the UK and it's so nice and CLEAN😂❤! I'm taking it you're registered as self employed rather than as a Ltd company? I will definitely be moving to Dubai myself once my company grows! I wish you all the best 💯💫

[@michazieba]

I wish you good luck in implementing your plans - it would be nice if you could show us your vlogs from your travels or life in Dubai.

[@cedricemmanuel2082]

Good luck mate, hope all goes well..

[@raycorc]

Love the fact you’re making the most of your freedom - when you visit Sydney I’d be happy to show you around mate!

[@HaseebK0]

Good Luck! I’m in a similar situation as an IT professional in the UK but probably a little younger than you. Also considering moving out of the UK in a few years once I’ve established myself a little more here.

[@purevibez1914]

Keep doing your thing man! Congratulations!

[@PeterCooperUK]

9:35 Dont forget employers national insurance. Another 13% on top. You almost hit 60%

[@MujeebLawal-Saka]

Looking forward to seeing your new setups😄 and congratulations man.

[@WaliKhan_2k]

Good luck with your move to Dubai - I didn't know about your cancer history - happy to see you healthy. Can we have a collaboration once you are in Dubai?

[@CloudSecurityGuy]

That would be awesome Wali bhai :) .. would love to see you interview Oliur

[@skillswithsid]

Best of luck with the move Oliur

[@anvitsharma4885]

Good luck and god bless!

[@madameversiera]

The nhs is bad here, unless you have very simple illness to cure, most gp’s have no clue what to do. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and the go basically ignored it for months diminishing my symptoms, until it got serious into Graves’ disease. The doctor didn’t make any food intolerance test, and despite me asking he ignored my request. Extremely bad service, be careful using the NHS advice, especially in super crowded areas of London, malpractice is very common.

[@tomhbird]

Welcome to Dubai! Moved back myself last year after 12 months away. It’s not perfect, but for the moment it’s the right place to be…

[@ElieBeth___]

Super excited and happy for you Oliur! Followed you for years and this is gonna be an amazing next stage in your life. I was the same person who no one thought would ever move country but I did and it was the best experience in my life and would do it all over again. So I’m thrilled for you about hearing this.

[@5arkar]

Good luck mate. I hope you find what you are looking for and don't forget us!

[@andrew_to]

Good luck. I had the opportunity to work and live in Dubai a few years ago. From April onwards the heat could take some time adjusting to.

[@soniankatha9783]

So happy for you, your growth has been incredible to witness

[@Christomshack]

Best of luck man! I’ll be spending several months in London this year and planned on reaching out to meet up, but excited for you and this next stage in life 🙌🏼

[@Mauuuurice]

I wish you all the best, but I have to say that leaving a country because of taxes always feels a bit wrong to me as those taxes are there to keep everything running and (depending on the country) support each other. But maybe I am old school

[@moonlitspud]

Best of luck to Oliur with the move, but I agree the tax being a primary motivation is a little sad though. It's tax money that helped him and others who can't afford private care through life-threatening illnesses, so it does feel like a bit of a 'pull the ladder up' mentality. Dubai can also afford this luxuries of low tax predominantly because of the abuse of migrant workers. Also healthcare - the UK has significantly better cancer survival rates and a better average life expectancy than the UAE by a few years. Dubai just has very good PR on this front.

[@thenullco]

Keep everything running? Are we talking about the same UK?

[@Mauuuurice]

@@thenullco I am not from the UK, I don't know those details, I was generally speaking.

[@samuelodan2376]

I feel you, but those rates are outrageous. Once he leaves, others will keep paying, and the system will not flinch. The UK still attracts talent from around the world to come slave away and pay massive taxes, so the UK is fine. Personally, I would leave temporarily if it’ll save me tens to hundreds of thousands per year.

[@driver8703]

Depends on if you agree with how your taxes are being spent, another way to vote with your money. If you think your country is not using the taxes as you think they should then go somewhere that you agree with. No one should be bound to a place they were born due to some kind of obligation to a government or country.

[@theomnithinker]

So Dubai for foreigners is a collection of millionaire foreigners. Other millionaires who moved to Dubai talk about how great the tax breaks are, so it really does help the super wealthy stay wealthy. The native population is not so well off.

[@jayinthelongrun7453]

Doesn’t really matter where you go. It’s not like you’re stuck there forever. If things go sideways you are too young to try elsewhere.

[@helmanjanuario2398]

Did not know you had cancer, well done on the jump back bro, may you have a healthy life!

[@DoPositiveUK]

👏🏽 Look forward to seeing videos from Dubai.

[@YoungPrimz1]

Hope Dubai is good to you! Hopefully we can get some tech vlogs once you are settled.

[@QuickTipsTV-hk8xt]

Congrats on the fantastic choice! Dubai is my favorite holiday vacation spot. I was considering 2x to move there for a job but I have realized that truly to enjoy life there, you need to be self-employed.

[@bakeraus]

Life is way too short not to go and experience the world. Sounds incredible and I saw the food scene in Dubai and looks incredible.

[@BilalBudhani]

Just from the title I knew you would be moving to Dubai. Welcome to this part of the world, so great to have you.

[@Derpderpson123]

I love my family too much, I too want that Porsche 930 but family comes first. Good luck!

[@davidbourne6478]

Sounds like a plan. Good luck! I will look out for you in the next season of Dubai Bling!

[@t0tobi]

Congrats, decision makes totally sense. But as you said, the heat gets unbearable in the summer, it's wild. Will be interesting if you can adjust to that. Some people that moved there did!

[@mravalik]

I've followed you on X for some time and seeing that you've already made the move, what you mentioned near the end of the video "single, no children, etc", I'm in the same boat besides having a heart arrhythmia which does put a damper on things, however your words give me such a massive dose of inspiration as a reality check - young and no big familial responsibilities, nothing is stopping you - and I deeply appreciate your content, respect from the U.S. 🙏

[@Dom-fw7nz]

Just do like Mike Thurston and leave Dubai for 2-3 months during the Summer, travel around and do videos on that which you could probably expense to your business.

[@careyivery6656]

I loved visiting Dubai - but I can't live there ( too many issues to overcome).

[@clauaome25]

San Diego resident here. So glad yoy loved it.

[@AbuYuusufSomali]

Oliur, your brilliance continues to radiate as you consistently create exceptional content on KZbin. Congratulations on your remarkable work, and keep up the fantastic job, my friend.

[@adityaariewijaya9284]

Consider Bali also when you settle down in Dubai soon Oli! Great place!

[@markd2925]

great news, congratulations, i escape the Australian heat by going to switzerland , that would be a great country for you to visit during Dubai heat and only a short hop for you, super safe country, great people and amazing scenery

[@JCU84]

Congrats. I’m with you bro, I HATE the summer heat. I don’t like the to hot to cold also.

[@echelontimepieces22]

Looking forward to Dubai Content !

[@hamkb9741]

You should visit it on summer first, then decide if you gonna move. Trust me is it really hot, I live on one of GCC country and we travel to Europe in the summer to escape from the heat. Anyway its good to have you in Dubai :)

[@marcuslikespie]

Wooo hooo! I hope you love it. I’m a UK citizen living in Dubai since 2017 🙌

[@DrSayemHossain]

Welcome to Australia. It’s one of the best place for living as well as for investing. But you do end up paying loads of taxes here too!

[@Cyclingchoice]

All the best bro, happy for you!

[@odidaoscar1654]
