Public dossiers

Knowledge library

Public dossiers with source and review date. Filter by General (all emirates) or one emirate. Not advice for an individual case.

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.

Editorial

Source

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.

Editorial

Scope

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

Editorial

Review

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

Choosing a trusted advisor in Dubai: how to compare providers

A sound adviser in Dubai shows a licence, a written scope and a conflicts statement. This briefing is a comparison method — not a ranking and not invented expert reviews.

Relocating to the UAE: what is federal and what differs by emirate

Moving to “the Emirates” does not exist as one process. You choose one emirate for residence, school and usually your lease — plus federal tracks such as ICA and FTA where they apply.

Free zone or mainland in the UAE: pick one registrar

Mainland and free zone are registrar choices inside one emirate, not a country choice. This general briefing sets the comparison questions.

General · Property

Buying property in the UAE: each emirate has its own registers

There is no single federal UAE home cadastre. You buy through one emirate’s register. This briefing covers the shared questions.

Visa, Emirates ID and Golden Visa in the UAE: federal tracks

Many immigration rules are federal (ICA), but residence is tied to a sponsor or route that is executed at emirate level in practice. This briefing separates those layers.

General · Relocation

Renting a home in the UAE: contract rules differ by emirate

Tenant protection, registration portals and utilities are emirate-level. This general briefing covers what to check everywhere before you sign.

Building a business network in Dubai: where do you start?

A network in Dubai grows through repeated, useful presence — not through one gala. This briefing gives a starting order: whom to know, how to introduce yourself, and what to leave.
