Hey Matty, thanks for the great video🔥.. I want to ask how it'll go about, if one works online or makes money online..so basically not having to move there based on getting a job with a certain company. Is there gonna be certain requirements, as most people move to Dubai based on work. How does that go about if you have any idea perhaps. Moving to Dubai but working online.

Hey Hey , always exciting to be making these decisions. I am not 100% clued up on that but as far as I know there is a freelance visa that you would have to get to be able to work here or work under a company that would sponsor you to be here. I would recommend to have a chat with some agencies that help with visas such as JackyWorldwide.com. Hope this helps 🙏🏻

Hi there, where in Dubai do you live. What do you advise for someone who will work in the business bay but needs to be close to the tram, metro station, busses etc.

[@MATTY_VENTURES]

Hi There, I am based in Sports City. Most of Dubai is accessible by bus or metro. Area will be very much dependant on what you would like to pay on accommodation.
