How To Open A Non Resident Personal Bank Account in Dubai

The banking system in the UAE is widely appreciated around the world for the country’s stable economy, zero taxation policy, attractive interest rates and robust security. Expats across the globe come to Dubai either for work or setting up their own business enterprise. Having a bank account in Dubai is an added advantage for all as it comes with a wide range of features and eases the transaction needs both locally and internationally.

For a person who owns a resident status, it is easy to open a bank account in Dubai. However, for non-residents, the situation is quite different. There are a few limitations on the choice of banks as well as the features they offer. Non-residents can open a savings account and they will not receive a cheque book unlike the residents. These account holders will receive a debit card from the bank so they can withdraw money even while waiting for obtaining their residency visa. Non-residents are also supposed to maintain a minimum balance and it varies from bank to bank. If they fail to do the same, most banks may impose a certain amount of fine. Therefore it is better to start one with a decent amount of savings in the account.
