What documents do I need for opening a bank account in Dubai?

To open a bank account in Dubai, you typically need your passport, residency visa, and proof of address, like a utility bill or tenancy contract. Most banks also require a minimum deposit of around AED 1,000. Pro tip: Research different banks, as they often have varying fees and benefits, especially for expats. As a newcomer, I found that Emirates NBD and FAB were very accommodating and had excellent customer service.
