I wonder if anyone knows or has any experience of being a contractor in the UAE.

Would you setup your own Ltd (or equiv) company and provide your services under that? I guess you would invoice the recruitment agency who would then get the money from their client and then pay you - is that correct?

Is it the same model as the UK?

Are contracts generally handled by the HR lot or direct with the recruiting managers?

thoughts / feedback / answers all appreciated

No, you get a job.

That stuff in UK is for IR35 and to avoid employment law. They take labour law seriously in the Middle East even though, occasionally it is at the expense of the employees!

Contracting here is nothing like UK, most positions are taken up by people from the sub-continent.

Don't expect ~500 quid a day, that will only happen here in exceptional circumstances.
