What documents do I need to open a bank account in Dubai?

To open a bank account in Dubai, newcomers generally need a valid passport, residency visa, and a proof of address (like a utility bill). Some banks may also ask for a salary certificate or a no-objection letter from your employer. From my experience, the process was smooth at Emirates NBD, and the account was set up within a day. Important: Research different banks to find one that offers the best fees and services for expats!
