Base your brand in the UAE, create from anywhere

Why creators base their business in the UAE

• Keep what you earn, 0% personal income tax on your content income.
• A visa built for you, freelance and creator routes, plus a dedicated creator Golden Visa endorsed through Creators HQ, which holds up through long spells filming abroad.
• A credible base, not a tourist visa, a real company, real banking and a real address, rather than running your brand informally from Bali or Thailand.
• The community is already here, Dubai hosts the world's largest content-creator summit, with backdrops, brands and events across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Base here, live anywhere

You don't have to move your whole life to Dubai to benefit. Plenty of our creator clients base the business here, company, residency, banking and tax base, while they live and travel wherever the content takes them. The UAE gives the brand a stable, reputable home; you keep your freedom.

Creators HQ and the creator Golden Visa

Dubai now recruits creators the way it once recruited bankers. Creators HQ, the government-backed creator hub, runs studios, mentorship and a packed events calendar, and it's the official endorsing body for a Golden Visa route built specifically for content creators: ten years of residency, no employer or sponsor, and it doesn't wobble when you spend half the year filming somewhere else. Endorsement looks at your body of work and engagement, not just a follower count.

The visa is honestly the easy part. What trips people up is everything around it: where the licence should sit, what happens to the UK company your brand deals run through, and whether you've actually left the UK for tax purposes or just bought a plane ticket. That's the part we do.

What we handle

• The right company and creator/freelance licence
• Your residence visa and Emirates ID, including the Creators HQ Golden Visa route
• Breaking UK tax residency cleanly, if you're leaving the UK
• Banking, payments and the soft landing
