What are the essential documents needed to move to UAE?

To move to the UAE, you typically need a valid passport, a visa, and proof of accommodation. As someone who relocated to Dubai in 2022, I found that securing a residency visa requires a medical fitness certificate and health insurance, which can cost around AED 1,500 to AED 2,500 depending on the provider. Pro tip: Start gathering your documents early, as some approvals can take time. Also, make sure to check the official websites of the MOHRE and ICA for the most accurate and updated requirements.
