Legal or tax sentences point to a publisher and a url, or they are explicitly a worked example. “Research starting point” is not a tariff guarantee.
Public dossiers
Family, school, visa and home-country obligations.
The library is the public layer of AUREL Dubai. Each file has a review date, an emirate scope and, where needed, a primary source. General briefings apply across emirates; emirate-specific pieces sit beside them (for example starting a company in Dubai and in Abu Dhabi).
Premium pieces sit behind membership. The planner uses the same honesty rule as the files: unknown items stay unknown. Experience from the community or from “What to do in” sits apart from the official rule.
Filter by emirate or General first, then by topic. A property file does not solve your visa question; a relocation piece is not a purchase budget.

General is UAE-wide. An emirate briefing names local registrars and portals. Dubai rules do not silently apply elsewhere.

A date on the file is the trail. Human review is a separate status. Bulk-approving everything in one click does not exist.

Family, housing, school, insurance, the move, documents and visa tracks. Temporary stay, permanent settlement and tax residence are three questions. Anyone who piles them together plans the wrong year.
School fees and deposits often sit beside rent. KHDA factsheets are a starting point, not a place guarantee. Home-country checklists (the Dutch tax office, HMRC, or another desk) belong in the same bag as Emirates ID.
The first-year budget in the planner is a sum with gaps. Immigration or tax conclusions about your case stay an expert brief. Piling temporary stay, settlement and tax residence together is how a year gets planned wrong.
Renting often buys pace while school or a purchase is still open. Buying in the same month as school start stacks two uncertainties. There is no single correct sequence for every household.
