Hi,

I have a few questions and I am hoping someone can help answer them. I am thinking of moving to Dubai in the next few months. I have found a company called connectfreelance.ae which appear to provide you with everything + resident and work permit, plus freelancing opportunities.

Question 1: Has anyone got any experience with this company - reliability?

Question 2: Am I allowed to freelance for external clients who are not based in UAE and charge them in non-AED?

Question 3: Can I as an individual create my own invoices?

Question 4: Can a freelancer in Dubai accept payment in non-AED from its clients?

Any help would be appreciated.

Questions 2, 3 and 4 should be answered by this company if you ask them directly.

As for question 1 - sorry, I have no experience of this company.

I’m sure you can get your own freelance visa from many of the free zone entities.

also, I’ve heard a lot of people struggle to open bank accounts.

mustafah i know its 2 years on but i am now in your situation and i was wondering if you went ahead with connect resources and if you made it in the contracting space in dubai. I will appreciate your response.
thanks

yes i will be happy for you to link me up with someone there.
