Moving to Dubai from Australia: Complete Guide

25,000+ Australians in the UAE. Visa-free entry, direct flights from major cities, and a growing Aussie expat community.

Tax Considerations

  • Australia doesn't tax residents living abroad if you're a non-resident for tax purposes
  • Sell or rent your property — CGT implications apply
  • Superannuation continues to grow tax-free

Cost Comparison

Dubai is 10-20% cheaper than Sydney. Significantly cheaper than Melbourne for comparable lifestyle. No income tax is the biggest advantage.
