Default Self employed internet based business in Dubai

Hi,

Came across this forum the other day and I have been reading it ever since. Me and a friend are looking to move out to Dubai in the next 6 months. One of the main reasons for this would be the massive saving on tax for us.

Our business is 100% internet based on a daily basis, with no shipping of products or anything like that to worry about so we thought about moving to Dubai to get away from the horrible UK weather and live a little. We are between 19-24 and nothing is tying us down to the UK right now.

We know it won't be cheap to live there, nor do we expect it to be. one thing I have been unable to clarify is the Visa situation, we are self employed and paid by various companies for internet advertising, so how would we get a Visa without an employment letter.

Any info/ experience is welcome in any form.

Thanks

Set up your own business out here through one of the many companies that do this and issue visas. Lots of threads on this if you do a search.
