Visa
A fresh allowance each time you enter. Border runs may reset it, but repeated same-day runs draw scrutiny.
Non-Schengen — days spent here do not burn your Schengen 90/180 allowance.
Most nomad visa applications require proof of health cover for the full permit duration — here that's 12 months.
Subscription model, cancel anytime. Check whether motorbike accidents are covered — they often are not without a local licence.

Tax
0% personal income tax. 9% corporate tax applies above AED 375k profit.
Foreign-sourced income is generally exempt for nomad-permit holders here.
The honest note
Expensive to live, but 0% income tax flips the arbitrage math entirely above roughly USD 120k/yr. The calculator must model post-tax income, not just cost of living.
