Plan the move around your residence route

A move to Dubai involves decisions that depend on each other: who will sponsor your residence, which documents need preparing, when your family can apply and what needs to be in place for housing and school registration. We bring these into one relocation plan.

Prism 7 Corporate Services supports visa and document applications, family sponsorship planning, housing and school guidance, and arrival administration. At the outset, we agree which tasks we will handle, which sit with your employer or sponsor, and which need a property, removals, tax or other specialist.

Practical support before and after arrival

Relocation planning

We organise the move around your work or business plans, family arrangements and target arrival date. Your checklist identifies what can run in parallel and what must wait for a document, decision or appointment.

Visa and residence applications

We review the appropriate residence route and support the agreed application work. For an employment move, we coordinate around the employer’s responsibilities for work and residence processing.

Family sponsorship

We check the proposed sponsor’s position, the family relationships and the supporting documents before planning dependant applications. Parent sponsorship has separate conditions and should be reviewed separately.

Housing and neighbourhood guidance

We help you compare areas around your commute, school shortlist and budget, and introduce property contacts where needed. The tenancy, registration and payment arrangements need checking before you commit.

Schools and admissions

We help you understand school options and admissions steps. Contact schools about year-group places, assessments and required records before setting a start date; guidance does not reserve a place.

Arrival administration

We guide the sequence for Emirates ID, health cover, banking, driving licence eligibility and utilities. We explain which appointments require you in person and what can be processed on your behalf.

How we organise your relocation

Discuss your move

Tell us who is moving, your work or business plans, the emirate and any school or housing priorities.

Agree the scope and costs

We set out the application support, practical guidance and specialist introductions you need, with an itemised quote for our agreed work.

Prepare and coordinate

We confirm the document requirements and organise the agreed applications around employer, sponsor and authority dependencies. You receive updates as the work progresses.

Plan the arrival tasks

We review outstanding appointments, family applications and practical setup, then hand over the relevant documents and renewal dates.

Relocating to Dubai — Your Questions Answered

Start with the residence route and the person or organisation responsible for it. Then check the documents for each family member. Research housing and schools alongside this work, but check the application dependencies before making non-refundable commitments.

Separate application and document costs from housing, school fees, insurance, travel, removals and arrival setup. Include rent payment dates, deposits and temporary accommodation. Ask your employer which employee and family costs the employment package covers; we quote separately for our agreed relocation work.

Family sponsorship depends on the sponsor’s valid residence, eligibility and the relationship and documents for each dependant. Do not assume that an employee’s application includes the whole family. We review the family applications and their sequence with you.

We provide area guidance and introductions to property contacts. Begin with your commute, school options and budget, then check the tenancy, Ejari registration and utility arrangements for the property you choose.

In Dubai, employers must provide health insurance for their employees. Family cover depends on the employment contract; if the employer does not provide it, the family sponsor is responsible for arranging the dependants’ cover. Check the policy start date, covered people and benefits before travelling.

Ask the bank for its current document list before booking. Account requirements and approval vary. We plan banking, Emirates ID and other arrival tasks around the documents available, rather than assuming that every task can be completed immediately on arrival.

Tell us who is moving and what you need to organise, and we will discuss the next steps.
