Single, young and rich. Exactly my type, unless you are very fat but I could probably overlook that if there’s more numbers in the bank account than on the scales.

what do you say?

5 year visa is 5m AED of real estate that’s not easy to resell. Cheaper to open a business and employ yourself.

yup. It’s a terrible deal.
10m AED for a 10 year visa.

Portugal - 500k euros and you get a golden visa and European passport after 5 years. You don’t even have to live there to qualify. might do it when Brexit has killed all hope.

What the girl needs is to find herself a rich husband. She needs a place with plenty of Essex boys on the make. The best place for that is London.

Hmm.... upon second thought maybe Dubai isn't a bad idea after all.

She has money - no rich man needed. I still think I could potentially be in the running, I’m 40, have all my own teeth and hair, and own a very cute dog.

In all seriousness, if this poster is real I think dubai isn’t the right place to come. I’d go to marbs. Basically the same, better weather and cheaper food.

You are right. I can't guarantee being able to include the dog in the package - she might take that in the divorce.

If I had unlimited funds I'd settle on the QE2 or similar.
A few days on my own in Dubai were no experience which wants me to live there alone or as a couple.

Our Sophie posted the same question on another dead forum but under the name of LisaStep.

That forum is deader than dead. What happened to it? It used to be pretty active.
