Real observations on tax, residency, lifestyle and global mobility — from a UK perspective.
Not because of hype. Because of structural changes in how global professionals think about where to live and build.
Understanding UK exit rules, statutory residency tests, and what a Dubai Golden Visa actually means for your tax situation. Most people get this wrong.

It's not purely about tax. It's about access, proximity to capital, and a different kind of professional environment. The conversations I'm having in London right now.
Numbers that actually reflect how international professionals live — not the tourist version, not the budget version.
The gap between a holiday impression and the reality of building an actual life. What changes after six months.
What people in London's professional networks are quietly asking each other about the UAE. The questions are getting more serious.

Dubai Tiger is not a property agency. It's not a sales platform. It's a long-term observation project — documenting what it actually means to build an international life between London and Dubai from a personal, professional and financial perspective.
The conversations, the questions, the misconceptions and the genuine insights — all of it gathered and shared here, for people who are thinking seriously rather than casually.
"Most of the useful information about Dubai doesn't come from property websites. It comes from quiet conversations."
Not a sales call. Not a property pitch. A real conversation about whether any of this is relevant to your situation.
