What are the steps to open a bank account in Dubai?

Opening a bank account in Dubai typically requires your passport, residency visa, and a salary certificate if you're employed. Most banks offer accounts within a few days, and minimum balance requirements vary but can start from AED 3,000. In my 5 years in Dubai, I've found Emirates NBD and FAB to be user-friendly and reliable. Important: Always check for any hidden fees before signing up!
